The Survivors of the Chancellor by Jules Verner

Mr. Kazallon thought that booking passage on a cargo ship from Charleston to Liverpool would be a charming way to return to his English homeland. If only he knew! A crazed sea captain, a disaster in the hold, storms, oppressive heat, sharks and starvation are just some of the many travails that will beset both passengers and crew. Will any of them survive the wreck of the Chancellor?

This book takes away the desire to be a shipwreck, it describes one misfortune after another, when I finished the book I felt exhausted

As an interesting note

In season four of the TV series Lost, a minor character named Regina is shown reading The Survivors of the Chancellor.

In the movie Hawaii, Eugenio gives Martin a Spanish translation of the book, “El Chancellor” to read.
