Shipwrecks of Delaware and
Maryland - 2002 Edition
GARY GENTILE'S POPULAR DIVE GUIDE SERIES
ISBN 1-883056-11-X softcover with color covers 6 x 9 vertical, 240
pages, 81 color photos, 87 black & white photos. Over 400 GPS and
loran numbers included
As suggested by the title and series name, this volume covers the
most well-known wrecks sunk off the geographical coasts of Delaware
and Maryland.
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 (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
color underwater photographs, some of the wrecks, more often of
typical marine life found in the area
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 more than 400 GPS and loran numbers of wrecks in and
adjacent to the area covered
