Small is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles a selection of the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred along the perilous waters of Cape Cod, illustrating the tragedy and heroism that often accompany these maritime disasters. At the start of the work, the author shares his personal connection to the tragic events he describes, having served as a Marine Reporting Agent on Cape Cod for over sixty years. The opening portion introduces the first shipwreck, detailing the calamity of the British ship "Josephus," which ran aground in 1849 during a fog, leading to the loss of most of its crew. The narrative captures the chaos on the shore as local residents attempted to render aid, revealing both the dangers of the sea and the bravery of those who risked their lives for the sake of others amidst harrowing circumstances.
