Critics Review
“Stevens packs a lot of information into a short book. I recommend it for anyone with an interest in Alaskan history or marine archeology.”
Land and sea are beautifully described, showcasing Stevens’s deep love for nature. Such details also bring into clarity how dangerous the mission was. Refreshingly honest anecdotes about mistakes, regrets, and difficulties show the human side of the risky undertaking… poetic in its approaches to the landscape but is also a factual account that teases out the unseen sides of discovering a shipwreck. * Foreword Reviews *“Stevens packs a lot of information into a short book.
