The Stolen Island: Searching for 'Ata (BWB Texts Book 50)

â€˜What had happened to the stolen islanders? Had any survived slavery?â€™

One day in 1863 a strange ship stopped at â€˜Ata, a tiny island in the wild seas between Tonga and New Zealand, and sailed away with one hundred and forty-four men, women and children. The â€˜Atans were never heard from again, and in Tonga their fate became the subject of legends and superstitions.

Uncovering the tragedy of â€˜Ata takes Scott Hamilton on a journey to the kava circles and caves of Tonga and back to the streets of Auckland. The Stolen Island is a twenty-first century true sea story revealing slavers, mutinies, castaways, pirates and a cruel streak in Pacific history that is often overlooked but not forgotten.
