"Peel's Golden Shipwreck" profiles just one shipwreck - the Lucy, of London. Over three hundred years ago in 1702 she was wrecked on the west coast of the Isle of Man just to the north of Peel. Little is known about the ship herself nor her passengers or crew, but much evidence of the wealth that she may have been carrying became evident in the weeks following her demise. Sourced from old court records this book gives a rare glimpse into the events following the wreck, events which touched the lives of both privileged and ordinary Manx men and women many of whom were tempted into stealing the valuable goods that were washed up on the shores of Kirk German and Kirk Michael.

"A tidy book which affords a valuable glimpse into life in 18th Century Manxland"
