Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan
4.0

"How to survive the surviving" Author's note p.399

New York Times best selling author Patti Callahan's novel "Saving Savannah" is a riveting account of the 1838 sinking of the steamship the Pulaski. Hundreds perished. 180 years later the sunken ship is located and a Savannah history professor is contracted to curate a museum exhibit about this little-known event.
The harrowing description of the passengers/crew fight for survival and the difficult aftermath made for a fascinating read. I highly recommend this historical fiction book. The author's note and list of resources are compelling.
