EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD SHIPWRECK STORY - The world’s oceans are filled with mysteries beyond counting. Amongst the many are ship’s that disappear leaving few if any traces of their passing. The brave souls aboard these vessels have rarely had their stories told. Grief and loss confront family members when a loved one goes missing. In the days before satellite communications and GPS when a sailing ship ventured out over the horizon, there would be no further contact unless signalled by a passing vessel. It could be weeks or months before Lloyd’s of London recorded the ship’s safe arrival in Lloyd’s List. Some however never arrived and would eventually be listed as overdue. Then telegrams would be sent out by agents and owners enquiring at ports around the globe asking if the missing ship had arrived or been heard of. Eventually, there would be an inquiry conducted by Boards of Trade or Trinity House Masters as Lloyds now listed the vessel as ‘Missing – presumed lost with all hands’. For the shipping trade, this would be an end to the matter as underwriters paid out on marine insurance policies and merchants had their lost goods replaced. For families and loved ones there would be no formal closure, no memorial, no grave, just endless grief and mourning. Here at least a few of their stories are now told – The tales of those who never came home. The stories of the lost vessels told in this volume include the barque West Ridge, discovered in the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the wool clipper ships Loch Long, Loch Laggan, Loch Maree, the iron hulled sailing ships; Marlborough, Mysore, Dunedin, Inchcape Rock, Seatoller, and Deanfield. the loss of the Archduke Johann Salvator von Habsburg and his wife Mili Stubel after they had run away to sea aboard the clipper Saint Margaret. Then finally the stories of Captain Nicholas Rutter who lost the barque Kohinoor, the ships Knight Errant, and the Foundling of Liverpool, before disappearing when the ship British King was lost without trace.

"An unflinching look at the immigrant experience, an unlikely and unique friendship, and a resonant story of female empowerment."—Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman with the Blue Star Ellis Island, 1902: Two women band together to hold America to its promise: "Give me your tired, your poor ... your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." A young Italian woman arrives on the shores of America, her sights set on a better life. That same day, a young American woman reports to her first day of work at the immigration center. But Ellis Island isn't a refuge for Francesca or Alma, not when ships depart every day with those who are refused entry to the country and when corruption ripples through every corridor. While Francesca resorts to desperate measures to ensure she will make it off the island, Alma fights for her dreams of becoming a translator, even as women are denied the chance. As the two women face the misdeeds of a system known to manipulate and abuse immigrants searching for new hope in America, they form an unlikely friendship—and share a terrible secret—altering their fates and the lives of the immigrants who come after them. This is a novel of the dark secrets of Ellis Island, when entry to "the land of the free" promised a better life but often delivered something drastically different, and when immigrant strength and female friendship found ways to triumph even on the darkest days. Inspired by true events and for fans of Kristina McMorris and Hazel Gaynor, The Next Ship Home holds up a mirror to our own times, deftly questioning America's history of prejudice and exclusion while also reminding us of our citizens' singular determination.

The East India Company at Home, 1757–1857 explores how empire in Asia shaped British country houses, their interiors and the lives of their residents. It includes chapters from researchers based in a wide range of settings such as archives and libraries, museums, heritage organisations, the community of family historians and universities. It moves beyond conventional academic narratives and makes an important contribution to ongoing debates around how empire impacted Britain. The volume focuses on the propertied families of the East India Company at the height of Company rule. From the Battle of Plassey in 1757 to the outbreak of the Indian Uprising in 1857, objects, people and wealth flowed to Britain from Asia. As men in Company service increasingly shifted their activities from trade to military expansion and political administration, a new population of civil servants, army officers, surveyors and surgeons journeyed to India to make their fortunes. These Company men and their families acquired wealth, tastes and identities in India, which travelled home with them to Britain. Their stories, the biographies of their Indian possessions and the narratives of the stately homes in Britain that came to house them, frame our explorations of imperial culture and its British legacies.
