I recommend this book to anyone visiting the Florida keys with shipwrecks in mind. The water is clear and the sites provide great underwater photographic opportunities. The history of the Florida keys is captured in her shipwrecks, the means of early transportation, but her escapades with pirates, hurricanes, and poor navigation.
Book Description
This book contains the history, manifest, salvage and recoveries of six major well known shipwrecks in the Florida keys. Four of the shipwrecks are 1733 Spanish treasure galleons, one is a British warship that sank in 1695, and the last is an American warship that sank in 1822. Each shipwreck is precisely located with charts and photographs of land bearings taken from the site. A number of color photgraphs include treasures recovered.
Reader Reviews
Great Author, and a very easy read. If you have ever been to the Keys, this book will help you learn more about the lives of the people long ago, who first encountered them, THE HARD WAY. Very interesting!
