Murder of Captain John Gray

John Gray, the captain of the ss Great Britain since 1854, mysteriously disappeared on his way home from Australia in November 1872. Although very popular with his passengers and crew he did have a violent side to his nature; he would use his fists on anyone who disobeyed him, and sometimes put them in irons, deep in the bowels of the ship. It has always been supposed he committed suicide. This book sets out to prove he was murdered.
