A Fascinating Journey 20 April 2000

Format:Hardcover

An excellent book for anyone with even a mild interest in shipwrecks. Great pictures and even maps. Great stories told of shipwrecks from every era. A great gift or coffee table book.

Format:Hardcover

Published in association with the Mariners' Museum in Virginia and use maps, photos and color illustrations throughout to make for histories which are lively and probing, History Of Shipwrecks provides stories of shipwrecks and treasure locations around the world, from archaeology and treasure hunting to the history behind individual wrecks. An intriguing title.

Everyone makes a mistake. 6 Sep 2010

By Phil from Fargo - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book was a dazzling disappointment. It is poorly written and contains numerous errors, including some dates listed that are simply wrong. The organization of the chapters is poor, jumping from poorly covered topic to poorly covered topic. The style of the book is that of a 4th grade textbook. This book is really not worth the paper on which it is printed!
