A full unabridged audiobook of the classic short story, "The Wreck", by Charles Dickens - complete with sounds and visuals.

The captain of a trans-Atlantic ship recalls the events of the sinking of The Golden Mary, a passenger vessel with several dozen on board. This is Part One of the collection "The Wreck of the Golden Mary" with other sections taken on by alternate writers. The latter section titled "John Steadiman's Account" was written by Wilkie Collins, and leads immediately into Part II.

"The Wreck of the Golden Mary (Being the Captain’s Account of the Loss of the Ship, and the Mate’s Account of the Great Deliverance of Her People in an Open Boat at Sea)" is a collection of six connected short stories and one poem written by six different authors. Together, these formed the main part of the Christmas 1856 issue of the magazine 'Household Words', which was edited by Dickens at this time.

Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with "A Christmas Carol" in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution.

    That was a wonderful story. I couldn’t “put it down”.
    Do you think there might be Part Two posted? It would be lovely. Great job! Really well done!

    Beautifully told. I've not heard of this book before. It portends the later sinking of the Titanic years later.
