From the dramatic rescue attempt of the passengers of the S.S. Atlantic in 1873 to the sinking of the bulk carrier MV Flare in 1982, disaster at sea is a continual reminder of the ocean's annihilating power. This book recounts the compelling stories of many of the most exciting shipwrecks on Canada's east coast: S.S. Atlantic, HMS Tribune, the Chameau, the offshore oil rig Ocean Ranger. The narratives highlight the cause of each wreck, attempts at rescue and, in many cases, the present-day preservation of the wreck sites. These sites, once the playthings of treasure hunters, are now recognized as unparalleled sources of knowledge about our past.Illustrated in colour with artifacts, underwater photography and historical visuals, Shipwreck Treasures tracks four centuries of marine disasters on Canada's eastern seaboard.

Sometimes the author tells us where she's getting her information, and at other times she doesn't. He did this before with Tim (Winter), and Kelly (Lightning), and to a certain degree, though I never ever found him unlikable, Nathaniel (Thunder). Receive a book with pocket pages containing objects owned many years ago, makes you remember happy hours spent playing with Lego. Even if you own Montgomery's original book, you need this book.. Great for a costumer's library. They show the author as acutely observant, exercising all his senses and appetites to live more fully, assimilating and expressing the realities of foreign travel, food and wine, architecture and ambience, men and their motivations, providing first-hand, historical detail on Doug Chandler, Gary Nixon, John Kocinski and Ago that greatly enlarges our knowledge of these great racers. The story of the rails covers the rise, fall, and rebirth of this critical industry.
