{"product_id":"dead-reckoning-del-wilber-9781970330076","title":"Dead Reckoning: When Sail Meets Steam","description":"Captain Elias Johnson commanded one of the finest sailing ships in the Atlantic trade-until the age of steam swept his world away. Reduced to second officer aboard a coastal steamer, Elias endures the humiliation of serving under his vindictive former subordinate. But when a fierce Atlantic gale disables the ship's engines, leaving passengers and crew helpless just miles from a deadly shore, only one man aboard can save them. With the vessel drifting toward certain destruction, Elias must jury-rig enough canvas to give the powerless steamer sailing capability. In a desperate race against wind and tide, he'll prove that seamanship still matters in an age of steam-or die trying. A gripping maritime adventure set during the 1870s transition from sail to steam, Dead Reckoning is a tale of tradition, technology, and the eternal challenge of matching human skill against the sea. \"When engines fail, only wind and courage survive\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e del Wilber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1970330074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781970330076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e A L Wilber Jr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d","brand":"del Wilber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801157611775,"sku":"9781970330076","price":17.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dead-reckoning-del-wilber-9781970330076","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
