Summary:

From the earliest days of discovery, the Caribbean has been
synonymous with marine adventure. Many vessels and seafarers have met
their fate-often in mysterious circumstances-in the Caribbean Sea.
Now, Martha Watkins Gilkes has traveled the length and breadth of the
region to document the shipwrecks. She unravels the mystery behind
many of these wrecks-from the infamous disasters to the long
forgotten. She also has explored and written about many of the ships
that have been deliberately sunk in recent years, offering unique
homes for underwater creatures and marine plants. In this practical
and informative guide, the shipwrecks of each island are explored in
turn offering history, trivia, advice, and location details.
