Description:
The HMS Bounty. The Andrea Doria. The Mary Rose. And of course, the Titanic. These booty-laden sunken ships are just four among the dozens, famous and unsung, chronicled in The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sunken Ships and Treasures. Spanning across centuries and around the seven seas, this volume offers a fascinating compendium of history's ill-fated seagoing vessels, from the Vikings and ancient Chinese junks to the 20th century, and fate of the riches they carried -- coins, jewelry, porcelain, pottery, cannons, and more. Detailed maps and records reveal as much as is currently known about the maritime disasters, including the names of the ships, dates, and locations of their demise, trade routes, tonnage and cargo, and salvage records. Ample stories of swashbuckling pirates and privateers, dangerous recovery expeditions and legendary pieces of eight yet to be discovered make this book a true adventure of high seagoing drama.
