"The story of the great Portuguese merchant ship, the São Gonçalo, which met its tragic end in the beautiful Baia Formosa in 1630, is as dramatic and exciting as any tale of adventure. After years of painstaking research, author Pat Storrar has managed to piece together this fascinating story from the annals of the famous Portuguese voyages of discovery. What made the research more intriguing was the fact that one of the five priests on board kept a diary of events, and his amazing firsthand account was used as part of the material for a weighty work on Portuguese maritime exploits published in Lisbon in 1675. Sadly, the original diary was lost and never found again but thanks to the friar's pen, the story of courage and determination may live on."
