  A Bronze Age wreck off Dover, the Mary Rose , the Cutty Sark , the rescuing of a 19th-century transatlantic steamship, and a section of the Mulberry Harbour sunk on the eve of the Normandy Landings, are among the tales in this exploration of the history of shipwrecks on Britain's sea-beds. Documentary and pictorial evidence are presented alongside accounts of the rich archaeological findings, and the book is written in a style designed to appeal to the general as well as the professional reader.
