""The Wreck of the Golden Mary"" is a novella written by Charles Dickens, originally published in 1856. The story follows the journey of a group of passengers aboard the ship Golden Mary, which is en route to California during the gold rush.

Throughout the story, Dickens explores themes of survival, human nature, and the consequences of greed. The novella is notable for its vivid descriptions of the natural world and the characters' inner struggles as they confront their mortality and the harsh realities of their situation. Overall, ""The Wreck of the Golden Mary"" is a compelling tale of adventure and human resilience, written in Dickens' signature style.Notwithstanding my being, as I have mentioned, quite ready for a voyage, still I had some doubts of this voyage. Of course I knew, without being told, that there were peculiar difficulties and dangers in it, a long way over and above those which attend all voyages. It must not be supposed that I was afraid to face them; but, in my opinion a man has no manly motive or sustainment in his own breast for facing dangers--by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
