Shipwrecks of the North East Coast

Volume 1 - 1740 -1917

Sailors and adventurers have always known that every voyage at sea, whether short or long, is fraught with danger. Violent storms can wreck the most sturdy of ships or they can be attacked by pirates, enemy fire or be blown up by a mine.

In this comprehensive volume, covering the period from 1740 to 1917, Ron Young, and experienced diver of many years, catalogues the histories of the ships that have been stranded and wrecked along the north-east coast of England, from Whitby to Berwick-upon-Tweed. He records the bravery of the lifeboat crews that have risked their lives to rescue the survivors, including the heroic Grace Darling and the SS Forfarshire, as well as assessing the potential of the wrecks as dive-sites.

Price: £16.99 + £3.00 p&p U. K. (Ref: b0218)
