Summary

In this untold chapter of 19th century maritime history, Redmar Yska traces his great-grandfather's heroic endeavours to save the lives of ten Dunedin sealers abandoned - and close to starving - on subantarctic Macquarie Island. But Jacob Eckhoff's life is also an epic tale of loyalty, bitter feuding and sacrifice against a backdrop of some of the most unforgiving seas on earth.
