Shelf Wear - The wear that occurs as a book is placed onto and removed from a shelf. It may be to the tail (bottom) edge of the covers as they rub against the shelf, to the dust jacket or exterior of the covers (when no dust jacket is present) as the book rubs against its neighbors, or to the head of the spine which some use to pull the book from the shelf.

DESCRIPTION

On the evening of 10 February 1964, the HMAS Melbourne sliced throught the middle of HMAS Voyager.

The Voyager sank within minutes, taking 82 lives. Another 30 died of their injuries. It remains Australia's worst peacetime naval disaster.

This book is a collection of first hand accounts of that fateful evening.

Why did some men survive while others did not?

Men from different sections of Voyager recount the moment of impact, their miraculous escapes and the harrowing minutes and hours they endured in the dark oily ocean before being rescued
