A Treacherous Coast tells the fascinating stories of ten shipwrecks and maritime disasters to occur off the Queensland coast.  They include:

• the Endeavour – 1770,
• the Caledonia – 1831,
• the Stirling Castle – 1836,
• the Peruvian – 1846,
• the Countess of Minto – 1851,
• the Sapphire – 1859,
• the Maria – 1872,
• the Gothenburg – 1875,
• the Quetta – 1890, and
• the Orete – 1918.

Whether through gritty determination, personal fortitude, or a measure of good luck many people lived to tell their story.    A Treacherous Coast draws heavily on the first-hand accounts left by those who survived their ordeals.
