The Book Shop
From the extensive information available, and our collective memory, Douglas has put together the story that has been waiting to be told of our voyage aboard the Lucette, after we sold our farm in England up until the time of her sinking and in the Pacific aboard the 'Ednamair'. We had so many adventures!
We are hoping to set up a book shop facility so that you can buy a signed First Edition copy of 'Last voyage of the Lucette' direct from the Robertsons
These are the
books we plan to offer for sale in the future.
We will have free downloads available from some title's
so that you can sample before you buy.
Keep visiting to view our progress!

Survival - A manual
The Robertson family survived against all odds. This is
what makes their story so unique. Many people have written articles and made
statements about their strengths and their attitude to life which enabled them
to live through this disaster, but this this is the book that will explain the
practicalities of Survival. To us it is probably the most important book, we
are going to publish,
We know it has saved lives!
Poetry
by Lyn and Douglas
Lyn and Douglas have quite a collection of poetry between them.
Some of it they wrote together, particularly the ones set in the raft during
their survival experience.
China Coast
Hostage
Dougal Robertson wrote a third book before his untimely
death which has as yet not been published. It is a story written with knowledge
gained from his days as a merchant sailor in far eastern waters. He was up the
Yangtse River at the same time as the Amyhtyst
and came out just ahead of her.
