Atlas Of Shipwrecks & Treasure

Nigel Pickford

This book is full of interesting facts that are put together in an interesting way. Not a hard-core history book by any means, but it does contain the history and excavations of forty significant wrecks worldwide, from the Bronze Age to the 20th Century. The author's compelling accounts are supported by fine colour pictures, drawings and maps, while the book rounds off with a gazetteer plotting the sites of more than 1400 wrecks on 21 single or double-page charts.
