From Fame to Infamy
Shannon Azzaro
Historians, sailing, and shipwreck enthusiasts have published many versions of the shocking tale of Master Mariner, Captain "Bully" Forbes, who wrecked the mighty clipper Schomberg along the Victorian Shipwreck Coast in 1855. But what if those books got it wrong? Finding new sources of information and reaching a startling conclusion, this book tracks the whole story of the Schomberg in greater detail against the narratives of the day. Was the journey a case of "Hell or Melbourne in 60 days?" Did Forbes bring about his own downfall? Was his reputation ruined by others, and if so, why?
