Summary: "The Last Cruise of the Saginaw" by George H. Read is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative recounts the ill-fated voyage of the USS Saginaw, focusing on its crew and their harrowing experiences after the shipwreck on an uncharted reef in the Pacific Ocean. The tale is deeply human, capturing themes of bravery, survival, and comradeship among the crew members as they face overwhelming odds against nature. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the circumstances leading to the Saginaw's last cruise, detailing the ship's repairs and the crew's prior grueling experiences off the coast of Mexico. The prelude to the impending disaster includes the ship's mission to the Midway Islands for transport and survey work. The tone shifts drastically when, unexpectedly, the Saginaw strikes a reef, thrusting its crew into chaos and survival mode as they attempt to save their possessions and even more critically, their lives. As the ship succumbs to the violent elements, the narrative vividly paints the moments of fear, confusion, and ultimately the crews' resolve to endure and escape their dire situation.
