I'm looking for some books about shipwrecks, the aftermath of them, or just exploration expeditions that go wrong.

My library has In the Heart of the Sea and Endurance in ebook, so it looks like that's where I'm starting. Thanks everyone.

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:

I really enjoyed the mundanity of the “Life in a Medieval...” series written by the Gies’. I would like to know this thread’s opinion on whether they were based on good research. I would also like recommendations for similar looks into the mundane lives of people living in distant historical periods.

Ruth Goodman's books are marvelous for this. How to be a Tudor, How to Behave Badly in Elizabethan/Renaissance England, How to be a Victorian. There's also Tudor Monastery Farm, which I haven't read but seems to be a companion book of the BBC series she worked on (...Tudor Monastery Farm).
