THE VOYAGER Hannah Masury Howe
Episode description
In 1867, a ship bound for California with 400 Chinese passengers signaled distress as it drifted in the Pacific Ocean. The ship's captain was a woman, and her mutinous crew had refused to sail the ship even though they were running out of water. How did Captain Hannah Masury Howe come to be in such a predicament, and how could she possibly save herself and the ship?
Our guest is NYT bestselling author Katherine Howe, in this real-life high seas adventure.
