Description
The adventurous fairy-tale novel "The Island of the Lost Ships" by Alexander Belyaev begins with a sea voyage from Genoa to New York aboard the ship "Benjamin Franklin".
The voyage was interrupted by a storm. A sinking ship is abandoned, leaving behind only the daughter of a millionaire, Miss Vivian Kingman, the detective Simpkins, and Gatling—accused of wrongdoing—whom the detective was accompanying to the United States.
On the drifting ship, they end up amid the Sargasso Sea, where in the thick collections of algae they discover an entire island made up of others who, like them, have suffered shipwreck.
The island is ruled by Governor Fergus Sleaton, who immediately decides to take Miss Vivian as his wife. However, this is thwarted by Gatling, who organizes an escape on a submarine that has been repaired.
