Ships and Shipwrecks of the America's - A History based on Underwater Archaeology
Edited by George F. Bass. This book brings together for the first time the remarkable work of leading nautical archaeologists, each with first hand diving experience. Twelve chapters tell the story of watercraft in the Americas, from the first native dugouts and balsa rafts to the sinking of the Titanic and the loss of the battleship Arizona at Pearl Harbor. Every phase of American history is represented - from the time of the Spanish galleons, to the War of Independence and the era of the steamboat. The excavations described in these pages cast new light on the life below-decks and on the sometimes tragic last hours of the sailors and sea-captains whose ships opened up the waterways of the New Worlds. The extensive history is accompanied by the finest array of photographs of American shipwrecks ever assembled, from divers in action, wrecks and illustrations, 80 in color.
