The Wreck of the Grosvenor by W Clark Russell

A brutal sea captain, an inhuman chief mate, and an indignant crew set out to sea together--an obvious equation for disaster. This is the gripping tale of the voyage of the Grosvenor of the British Mercantile Marine, and of Mr. Royle, the mild second mate who rises to the occasion, overcoming mutiny and shipwreck in an attempt to save the lives of two innocent civilians.
"By the suffrages of seamen and landsmen alike, The Wreck of the Grosvenor entitles the author to the naval crown in current literature" --Herman Melville
