Close quarters

Follows the dramatic voyage south of an 18th century fighting ship taking emigrants and passengers on the treacherous voyage from England to Australia. The novel is cast as a journal written by Edmund Fitz-Henry Talbot, a well-meaning, somewhat uncertains slightly pompous officer and gentleman enroute to Sydney and a career in His Majesty's service. As a result of a green sailor's blunder, the ship's mast shatter, and it founders. Golding's achievement is the vivid, detailed depiction of a disintegrating vessel in the tropical seas, its progressive decay, and the wretchedness and despair of its passengers.
