"Sunk at Sea" by R. M. Ballantyne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around William Osten, a daring young man with a thirst for adventure who leaves his plans to study medicine to pursue a life at sea. His journey soon becomes perilous when his ship sinks during a storm, leading him and his fellow crew members into desperate situations on remote coral islands. The opening of the book introduces Will Osten and his rebellious nature within the confines of a strict household. Despite his father's stern opposition to his dreams of sailing, Will's desire to explore the sea prevails, and he sets off with Captain Dall on an expedition. Their adventure is quickly marred by disaster when a violent storm breaches the ship's hull, forcing the crew to abandon ship. As they seek refuge on a deserted island, they encounter a series of escalating conflicts, including potential cannibals and the struggle for survival, setting the stage for a tale of bravery and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
