If historians want to talk to anyone but each other, says Lewis (retired history, Western Carolina U.), they must offer well told tales founded on solid research. He demonstrates with the story of La Galga, which was escorting a Spanish flotilla from Cuba back home to Spain when it encountered a hurricane and sank off Assateague Island in what is now Maryland. From there, the narrative takes up the adventures of survivors caught in the politics of rabid colonial exploitation in the New World, the financial impact of the lost ship and scattered convey, legends about the ship and shipwreck, and the discovery and looting or salvaging of the wreck.
