Tragedy at Honda by Charles A. Lockwood (English) Paperback Book

Description: Tragedy at Honda by Charles A. Lockwood, Hans Christian Adamson Known to seafarers as The Devils Jaw, Point Honda has lured ships to its jagged rocks on the coast of California for centuries, but its worst calamity occurred on 8 September, 1923, the night nine U.S. Navy destroyers ran into Hondas fog-wrapped reefs. Admiral turned author Charles Lockwood (Sink Em All, Hellcats of the Sea) brilliantly recreates events as they happened, including the heroic efforts to rescue the men and ships. In his view, the cause of the tragedy lay in the interpretation of the differences that exist between the classic concepts of naval regulations and the stark realism of the unwritten code of destroyer doctrine to follow the leader FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Long Description Known to seafarers as The Devils Jaw, Point Honda has lured ships to its jagged rocks on the coast of California for centuries, but its worst calamity occurred on 8 September, 1923, the night nine U.S. Navy destroyers ran into Hondas fog-wrapped reefs.
