Description - Shipwrecks of the Cunard Line by Sam Warwick
A unique book dedicated to documenting the dive-able shipwrecks of the Cunard line. This fascinating book provides a unique history and record of the final underwater resting places of ships of the Cunard Line, whose rich history spans nearly two centuries. Charting the period from 1843-1974, the book includes a detailed history of each vessel leading up to the time of its loss, including Ascania, Alaunia, Aurania, Campania, Lusitania, Malta, Oregon, Scotia and Carpathia, famous for rescuing the survivors from the Titanic. Events surrounding the wrecking of each vessel are thoroughly explored and unique accounts incorporated from divers who have explored the wreck, along with stunning underwater images of the wrecks. Finishing off with practical data for interested divers, this unusual history offers a fresh analysis of maritime history.
