Four hundred years ago, Captain George Waymouth sailed from England to the coast of Maine in search of a suitable site for an English colony. He and his crew spent twenty-nine days in May and June of 1605 sounding and exploring a very small area of the coast, which included an anchorage at the Georges Islands and the discovery of a "great river." Which river? This question has been an ongoing controversy, even to the present day. Our best information comes from James Rosier, who was aboard the ship Archangell as a "gentleman" employed to document the voyage. His narrative, A True Relation, giv

Kennedy survived. Like many alternate history stories, that’s the premise of Stephen Baxter’s Voyage. But in Baxter’s version of the past, that one altered fact is the propellant that drives humanity into space, beyond the primitive lunar landings of the 1960s. Spurred by a JFK who champions space flight and a Nixon administration that backs NASA, humans reach Mars in 1986. But this is a tragic tale as well as a triumphant one, for Baxter’s relentless realism chronicles the perils of extended space flight as well as its glamorous achievements, making for a gritty, true-

Douglas Robertson has taken his father’s classic book, Survive the Savage Sea, as his starting point. On board their 43-foot schooner, Lucette, the Robertson family set sail from the south of England in January 1971 - in June 1972, Lucette was holed by killer whales and sank in the Pacific Ocean. Four adults and two children survived the next 38 days adrift, first in a rubber life raft, then crammed into a 9-foot fiberglass dinghy, before being rescued by a passing Japanese fishing vessel. This is the story of the 18-month voyage of the Lucette, across the Atlantic, around the Caribbean,
