Second of two talks by Percival R. Kirby
The wreck of the East Indiaman Grosvenor off the coast of the eastern Cape in 1782 is famous for the legends of sunken treasure. Professor Kirby is more interested in the human side of the disaster, and describes how, by pursuing every clue from documents to a teaspoon handle, he has unearthed the stories of many who sailed in her and of their bereaved families at home.
