The volume compiles contemporary reports, eyewitness testimony, press coverage, and official proceedings about the loss of a homeward-bound steamship that foundered off the Welsh coast after a violent storm. It reconstructs the vessel's final voyage and struggle with the elements, describes the hull breaking near shore and the large loss of life, and gathers newspaper articles, passenger lists, expert commentary, and adjourned inquest testimony culminating in the coroner's verdict, supplemented by addenda and later details drawn from primary sources.
