PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Robert Holding was one of only three young sailors to survive being shipwrecked in 1864 on the Auckland Islands south of New Zealand. This is his story of survival and exploration as told by his great-granddaughter who twice ventured to these remote shores to trace his fate. Allen interweaves her own research and travels to the region with excerpts from Holding's 19th-century diary of the shipwreck. With modern and archival photographs.
