    The renowned master of action and adventure novels has now taken his skills to a whole new level with this nonfiction account of historical shipwrecks, how they were lost at the bottom of the ocean, and how they were rediscovered with the help of Cussler's real-life crack team at NUMA. Cussler recreates the battles that sank the ships in such a way that he will transport you back in time to the blood-stained decks, and you will feel the waves rolling beneath the ship, hear the sounds of cannon fire and the tortured shouts of fellow seamen as they are struck down, hear the frantic call of "We're hit! We're hit!" and watch as your shipmates dive, panic-stricken, into the turbulent sea. You'll be witness to the ghostly creaks and moans of the ships as they, protesting, are claimed by the sea and sink slowly down into the deep. Cussler paints such a vivid portrait that you'll almost not believe that these are true tales of the sea, and not the fiction that Clive Cussler is so masterful at writing.

    Fascinating accounts of shipwrecks and how NUMA discovered them. Very readable, with just enough detail to make it interesting, not enough detail to get you bogged down in trivialities.

    Great book where Clive explains how specific shipwrecks made their way to their final resting place and how he ended up finding them. (or not) Interesting to follow up on some of the wrecks, including some of NUMA's most famous ones including the Hunley where there is some controversy as to what's in the book and who actually found the wreck. Great read and amazing to think that after such a long time, these traces of previous generations are still there... definitely recommended...

    I have not read a Cussler novel but after enjoying this book about his searches for lost ships and the occasional railroad locomotive, I may give his fiction a try. Cussler uses his immense book royalties to fund searches for ships mostly lost in wars. Once located he passes the information on to local museums or archaeological groups rarely taking any artifacts for himself.Some of the more famous ships found include the submarine CSS Hunley, Republic of Texas Navy Ship Zavala, WW I British Scout Cruiser H.M.S. Pathfinder, WW I German U-boats U-20, U-21, U-12, UB-74, 1836 Royal Swedish steamship Odin and maybe his most proud discovery, the Belgian liner Leopoldville sunk by U-486 on Christmas Eve,1944 taking 800 American soldiers to their deaths,Each ship's history from shipyard to finale voyage is described using survivor's memories when available and other historical documents to try to give as accurate picture of the event as possible. Great read for history buffs and those that love true sea stories.
