| 520 | |a "The greatest shipwreck disaster in the history of the Cayman Islands is the "Wreck of the Ten Sail." Sometimes misunderstood as the wreck of a single vessel, it was in fact the wreck of ten vessels at once, comprising one of the most significant maritime disasters in all of Caribbean naval history. The story has been passed from one generation to the next over more than two hundred years. Details of the tale vary depending on who is doing the telling, but all refer to this momentous event as the Wreck of the Ten Sail. Surviving historical documents and the remains of the ships that were wrecked confirm that the story is more than colorful folklore. It is a legend based on a historical event in which the HMS Convert and nine of her 58-ship merchant convoy wrecked on the eastern reefs of Grand Cayman in 1794. Most people think of the Wreck of the Ten Sail as a purely Caymanian story, but the incident has historical significance far beyond the boundaries of the Cayman Islands. It is tied to the conflict between Britain and France during the French Revolution, when these and other European nations were competing for military and commercial dominance around the globe. The Wreck of the Ten Sail attests to the worldwide distribution of European war and trade at the close of the eighteenth century This study by Margaret Leshikar-Denton focuses on the ships, the people, and the wreck itself to define their place in Caymanian, Caribbean, and European history. Rich oral accounts of older Caymanians were recorded, transcribed, and studied; invaluable supporting documents were located in archives in the United Kingdom, Jamaica, and France; and tangible evidence of the disaster has been excavated on the reefs of the East End. These three forms of history have been woven together to create The Wreck of the Ten Sail, a book with cross-disciplinary and international appeal"-- |c Provided by publisher | ||
