A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN TWELVE SHIPWRECKS

A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN TWELVE SHIPWRECKS by David Gibbins

A History of the World in Twelve Shipwrecks is a fascinating way to look at history. Dr. David Gibbins, a maritime archaeologist, brings readers along on 12 dives he has personally done to shipwrecks from 12 different significant time periods in history. Revealing locations and difficulties of the dives, he shares artifacts discovered, known details around the wreck itself, and what was going on in the world at the time of the sinking. Examples of the wrecks include ships from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Vikings, King Henry, and more. A collection of photographs at the center of the book gives visual life to the text. If you enjoy history and the mystery of what lies beneath the ocean waves, this book is a perfect read for you!
