The Caliban Shore by Stephen Taylor

The Grosvenor was one of the finest East Indiamen of her day, a grand three-masted square-rigger of 741 tons bristling with cannon. When she ran aground on the treacherous cost of south-east Africa, the castaways found themselves utterly ignorant of their surroundings and the local people. Stephen Taylor pieces together the extraordinary tale of what happened next. He reveals the misunderstandings that led to the tragedy and tells the story of those who escaped, and unravels the mystery of those who stayed.
Taylor, Stephen: - Stephen Taylor has been in the Christian Ministry with his wife, Hilary, for thirty-eight years. They have three children, Natalie, Nathan and Paddy. Natalie is married to Barry and they have three little boys, Ethan, Isaac and Caleb. Nathan is married to Rebecca, who has a teenage son Dylan. Stephen served in the RAF from the age of sixteen for six years, but then felt the call of God to go into the ministry full time. He is still a full time Pastor working with his son-in-law Barry, along with their wives, Hilary and Natalie. This work was put together after some time of study and contemplation, along with the encouragement of others to put it in writing.
