The Wreck of the Golden Mary annotated edition by Charles Dickens Literature Fiction eBooks
It is a rather mediocre short story. The characters are on a life boat after their ship goes down. A dozen people sitting around complaining about their circumstances is not gripping reading.Product details

The Wreck of the Golden Mary annotated edition by Charles Dickens Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The 36 pages of the free edition contain Dickens' riveting account of the wreck and aftermath. However, not included here are the collaborative bits (stories related by the castaways to ease their ordeal.) These were part of the original book, and were contributed by Wilkie Collins and other contemporaries of Charles Dickens. I was disappointed that these "stories within the story" were omitted.
SPOILER ALERT - The online version of this otherwise very good story that I and seemingly others have read ends with the lifeboats still lost at sea. There is a version of the story in Dickens' published "Christmas Stories" book that I am getting from the library to compare, but in doing some searching, it appears that there is nothing further about the end of the story available.
However, at the outset of the story, the narrator says that he is writing in 1856, and later says the voyage took place in 1851. From that, one would conclude that at least both the Captain and the First Mate, who finishes the story, survived in some fashion. But it does seem odd that there is no further explanation of what happened in the end - Dickens generally gave very detailed endings to most of his stories. I wondered if one of the other authors who apparently worked on the story supplied the ending (several of the stories that Dickens wrote with others have been published later omitting the portions not written by him, which can be frustrating), but I have so far not been able to find anything further. It appears what the other authors may have written instead are the stories the passengers told each other after the shipwreck, which are omitted in the online version that I read. In any event, as mentioned above, from the cited dates in the story, it appears that at least some survived the ordeal.
A detailed account of a shipwreck at sea and the trials and suffering of the crew and it's passengers, a sad story.
How did it end?
not one of his best
Great Item A+++++
A short story that takes one immediately into the location and the lives of the characters. Loved it but SOOOO wanted to know what the future held for everyone.
It is a rather mediocre short story. The characters are on a life boat after their ship goes down. A dozen people sitting around complaining about their circumstances is not gripping reading.
