[Note: The Earl of Abergavenny & Halsewell content is included in this single CD and this is now the best seller]

This is a compilation of interactive, web based CD's that detail the historical records of three East India Company ships that were wrecked along the Dorsetshire coast.  At least 555 lives were lost and where possible their names and the names those involved in these tragedies are recorded.  Although both myself (Earl of Abergavenny) and David John Allen (Halsewell) wrote chapters about the East India Company, there is very little repetition.  I tended to concentrate on the later years of the Company's history and David has included early material and various experiences from contemporary writers like William Hickey and Edward Barlow.

This compilation has an artefact record for the Halsewell and Earl of Abergavenny, unfortunately the whereabouts of the wreck site of the Alexander is uncertain and, to my knowledge, no artefacts have ever been recovered.

On the banner of the individual historical records there is the Hyperlink - TRILOGY HOMEPAGE which will bring you back to this page.

'HALSEWELL' - 1786
At least 170 lives lost.

'EARL OF ABERGAVENNY' - 1805

At least 140 lives lost.
