Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World

Quote:Auckland Island is a godforsaken place in the middle of the Southern Ocean, 285 miles south of New Zealand. With year-round freezing rain and howling winds, it is one of the most forbidding places in the world. To be shipwrecked there means almost certain death.

Shipwrecked / castaways stories are by far and away my favorite non-fiction.

In which case you've probably already read -- but if you haven't, I highly recommend -- "Batavia's Graveyard" by Mike Dash.

It recounts the shipwreck of a large merchant ship of the Dutch East India Company on the remote islands west of Australia. It turned into a bloodbath.
