Disaster Log of Ships

No sooner had I found one book by this author then a second came along. I was not disappointed with the first and was equally pleased with the second. Every time I opened a page I was drawn to picture after picture of wrecking and stranding to the extent that I simply had to read the caption and then look to see what additional information I could find. Divided into 5 chapters in which the author discusses the shipwrecks of; California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and finally Alaska, we are treated to some of the most exciting tales of shipwreck and tragedy ever to have been recounted in print. A little short of A4 in size, this book provides an excellent format for the scores of historic photographs - often 3, 4 or even 5 to a page reproduced here. Once again, I have to say I think a copy of this book is an essential addition to the bookshelf of any historian or scuba diver with an interest in American shipwrecks. NM
