Captivating and so well told!

This factual story is so fascinating it’s nearly impossible to separate the telling of it from the facts that propel it. The fate of the SS Central America and the people whose lives were forever connected with it will haunt you for a very long time. The story, within a story, of the recovery is so compelling as to make this a page turner for those with a love of science and of the sea.

I don’t usually books about treasure hunters. This one caught my eye and I’m so glad. The story is told with rich detail, exciting events and fascinating stories of the people who achieved a pinnacle in science & technology. A great story, told with verve and lots of research.
