Book Synopsis Shipwrecks in 100 Objects by : Simon Wills
Download or read book Shipwrecks in 100 Objects written by Simon Wills and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of shipwrecks involves many shocking episodes: from men who saw shipmates eaten by sharks, to castaways who ate each other. Learn about the cowardly captain who deserted his passengers on a sinking ship, the obstinate ship-designer who took 480 men to their deaths, and the first mate who wrecked his own ship for insurance money. Historian and genealogist Dr Simon Wills is maritime adviser to BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? program. In this fascinating book he uses objects associated with real incidents as touchstones for every tale. Our ancestors believed that sea monsters destroyed ships, but better-established causes include storms, war, pirates, human incompetence, fire and ice. The pages of this book are packed full of tales of dramatic rescues and miraculous survivals, and as well as the stories of the innovations that have improved safety at sea. Meet the man shipwrecked three times within an hour, a coastguard still diving overboard to save lives at 79, and the lifeboat inventor who endured someone else taking credit for his work. Ships can have character too: refusing to sink despite overwhelming odds, or even returning to haunt us as ghost ships. The dangerous life afloat stimulated pioneers to create the lifeboat service, offshore lighthouses, and lifejackets. Vessels lost at sea also inspired rewards for bravery, and artists and writers such as J.M.W. Turner, William Wordsworth, and Yann Martel the author of Life of Pi. Featuring famous wrecks such as Mary Rose and Titanic, this book introduces other less well-known but equally remarkable events from our nautical heritage, some of which seem almost too extraordinary to be true.
Book Synopsis Shipwrecks of Maine and New Hampshire by : Gary Gentile
Download or read book Shipwrecks of Maine and New Hampshire written by Gary Gentile and published by Bellerophon Bookworks. This book was released on 2015-12-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHIPWRECKS OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE ISBN 978-1-883056-52-0 softcover with color covers, 6 x 9 vertical, 220 pages, $20 U.S. 4 color photos, 126 black & white photos GARY GENTILE'S POPULAR DIVE GUIDE SERIES Over 300 GPS and loran numbers included As suggested by the title and series name, this volume covers the most well-known wrecks sunk off the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire. For each of the wrecks covered, a statistical sidebar provides basic information such as the dates of construction and loss, previous names (if any), tonnage and dimensions, builder and owner (at time of loss), port of registry, type of vessel and how propelled, cause of sinking, location (GPS and/or loran coordinates if known), and depth. In most cases, an historical photograph or illustration of the ship leads the text. Throughout the book is scattered a selection of additional photographs. Each volume is full of fascinating narratives of triumph and tragedy, of heroism and disgrace, of human nature at its best and its basest. These books are not about wood and steel, but about flesh and blood, for every shipwreck saga is a human story. Ships may founder, run aground, burn, collide with other vessels, or be torpedoed by a German U-boat. In every case, however, what is emphatically important is what happened to the people who became victims of casualty: how they survived, how they died. Also included are descriptions of the wrecks as they appear on the bottom. At the end of this volume is a bibliography of suggested reading, and a list of GPS and loran numbers of wrecks in and adjacent to the area covered.
