James Smith, an accomplished yachtsman, narrates the voyage that St. Paul took as prisoner, in which the boat shipwrecked nearby the island of Malta. He then furnishes, in dissertations, the best evidences that corrects the various faulty maps and shows the correct outline of the coasts of Crete. He shows the approximate location by the coast where St. Paul is thought to have been shipwrecked, and discusses the peculiar features of the coast such as the wind Euroclydon, the island Melita, the hips of the ancients, and geological changes in St. Paul’s Bay. He also discusses the composition of the ancient ships from St. Paul’s era.
