SynopsisFor twenty-three years, Clive Cussler's NUMA®-the National Underwater & Marine Agency-has scoured the rivers and seas in search of lost ships of historic significance. His teams have been inundated by tidal waves, and beset by the vagaries of man and nature, but the results-and the stories behind them-have often been dramatic: The 2000 raising of the Confederate submarine Hunley made national headlines. Here, then, are more true tales of sea- and land-going adventures, as Cussler and his crews set out to track down history. The famous ghost ship Mary Celeste, found floating off the Azores in 1872 with no one on board; the Carpathia, the ship that rescued the Titanic survivors and was itself lost to U-boats six years later; L'Oiseau Blanc, the airplane that almost beat The Spirit of St. Louisacross the Atlantic before disappearing in the Maine woods-all these, plus steamboats, ironclads, a seventeenth-century flagship, a certain famous PT boat, and even a dirigible, prove tantalizing targets as Cussler demonstrates again that truth can be "at least as fun, and sometimes stranger, than fiction" (Men's Journal).

Lost Ships, planes, diragable hunt
First I was disappointed because I thought this Sea Hunters II would be about finding one ship wreck. However, as I read on and picked up on book's theme, I realized it was better and worth reading. Going from early 1800's to present 2000's including PT109, Titanic, I was quite surprised at their inclusion and history I was unaware of each of these (PT109 and Titanic) Above that interest Clive Cussler's unique style of writing including a sense of humor makes book more than interest in historical facts but wanting to read more and more. Just finished book. I ordered another of Clive Cutler's "The Mayan Mystery (Not sure of exact title but it is about Mayan Lost Treasure of some sort" It's historical significance is "over the top".Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
