Triangle and time travel is one thing, but vanishing documents and killing people is another.
Every sailor knows ships bells mark the four hour watches and can never exceed eight bells. The mention of twelve bells totally ruined this story. And how did Crystal get the 450,000 euros at age 19 when her money was frozen in trust until she reached 21?
Bologna. I gave story three stars just because I like sailing ships. Over rated if anything.

** I received a free copy of this book from Goodreads First Reads.
Fifteen teenagers are abandoned on a sailing ship and must work together to crew the vessel and journey home. Mysterious forces are controlling the ship and their safe return in "Tall Ship Magic." This book was a fast read and would appeal to young adult as well as older readers. The plot was well written and characters interesting. My only complaint--it could benefit from some good proofreading. In addition to grammatical and typing errors, a number of times the American characters were using British slang and vocabulary.
