Review: Passionate and Beautifully Written - Ms. Farinelli should write more. This historical story of the Princess Augusta and her demise is both fascinating and sadly tragic. But Ms. Farinelli's writing style and massive research gives the story and the victims life. One can almost feel the suffering of the ship's passengers while witnessing their final demise. A wonderful historical read. I read the entire book in just three sittings...and was begging for more.
Review: Fascinating story of shipwreck and immigration to the US. - This smoothly written and well-researched book reveals a little-known aspect of immigration to America by 18th century Germans while describing a mysterious shipwreck off Block Island that led to a famous story of a burning ghost ship. It's so hard to imagine people so desperate to leave their homes in Europe that they sold off everything to risk coming to the US, with significant numbers dying in the dreadful process. I found the book held my interest all the way through, and I'd have loved to know even more about these events. I'm so impressed with all the work the author did to unravel this story.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written and very informative!
*by J***N on August 15, 2021*

This is a MUST read if you're interested in 18th century German immigration to America. It also contains details of many German immigrant ships. I found both my 6th and 7th great grandfathers (from two different families) in here.
