The Wreck of the Admella: And Other Poems is a collection of poems written by George French Angas and published in 1874. The title poem, The Wreck of the Admella, is a narrative poem that tells the story of the sinking of the Admella, a steamship that was wrecked off the coast of South Australia in 1859. The poem is based on the true events of the disaster and is a tribute to the bravery of the survivors and rescuers.The collection also includes a number of other poems on a variety of subjects, including nature, love, and mythology. Some of the poems are written in a traditional style, while others experiment with form and structure.Throughout the collection, Angas demonstrates a keen eye for detail and a love of the natural world. He also explores themes of loss, mortality, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity.Overall, The Wreck of the Admella: And Other Poems is a fascinating glimpse into the work of a talented poet of the Victorian era. It offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of Australia, as well as insights into the human condition that are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
