In the days of sailing ships, the waters off Britain’s south-western coast could be some of the most treacherous in the world with tidal currents, submerged rocks, storms and murky depths. Thousands of ships were lost there over the centuries. • From the remote Isles of Scilly, four generations of the Gibson family documented these shipwrecks in photographs, creating a unique archive of an era when seafaring could mean risking one’s life.
• This magnificent book is the largest ever created on the subject, with over 100 exceptional images presented as never before alongside text by historian and diver Carl Douglas and marine archaeologist Björn Hagberg.
• The result is a work that conveys mankind’s struggle against the elements.

"This is a truly amazing book for anyone who loves ships and the sea. – I have seen some of the photos in earlier publications but this is a wonderful compendium and includes many I haven't seen before. The quality of the photos is amazing and they are reproduced in a large format.
They give deep insight into the dangers experienced at sea in the past. The quality of the book is excellent and I cannot recommend it too highly."
