À propos de cet audio

This gripping memoir by the world's foremost marine geologist is an enthralling blend of maritime history, popular science, and Clive Cussler-style adventure.

David L. Mearns has discovered some of the world's most fascinating and elusive shipwrecks. From the mighty battleship HMS Hood, sunk in a pyrrhic duel with the Bismarck, to solving the mystery of HMAS Sydney, to the crumbling wooden skeletons of Vasco da Gama's 16th-century fleet, Mearns has searched for and found dozens of sunken vessels in every ocean of the world.

The Shipwreck Hunter chronicles his most intriguing finds. It describes the extraordinary techniques used, the detailed research, and mid-ocean stamina and courage required to find a wreck thousands of feet beneath the sea, as well as the moving human stories that lie behind each of these oceanic tragedies. Combining the adventuring derring-do of Indiana Jones with the precision of a scientist, The Shipwreck Hunter opens an illuminating porthole into the shadowy depths of the ocean.

This was an interesting read for me, as it was a subject I knew nothing about. It’s pretty interesting what they can do with today’s technology… yet we still haven’t mapped the ocean floor. So much still to find…

Rather remarkable

This is a fantastic book. The author believes the era in which he was working (1985-present) will be known as “The Golden Age” of shipwreck hunting and I believe he is probably right! So many fascinating wrecks with incredible stories. This book was engaging from start to finish.

Fascinating!
