Critics Review
This book is a must for your collection’. SubSea --------------------…each of the individual stories are brief but well written…there was plenty of detail on the ships and their fate. I particularly liked that the authors have dived many of the wrecks… …very good illustrations and some remarkably good underwater pictures taken in very poor conditions in the North Sea. I really enjoyed this book which will appeal to all you wreck hunters out there…’ Scottish Diver ——————– BOOK OF THE MONTH! - The photographs are really engaging and really give a sense to what it must have been like exploring these wrecks that lie on the ocean floor. A thoroughly enjoyable book written and compiled by two authors who, as technical CCR divers and photographers, clearly know their subject. Highly recommended'. Sea Breezes --------------------This is a well put together book backed up with good photographs and I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in this area’. Shipping Today & Yesterday ——————– ...will appeal to all those who venture into Neptune's underwater realm, whether active or armchair, and to anyone with an interest in maritime/,military history'. Bosun's Chronicle --------------------…This is a well put together book backed up with good photographs and I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in this area’. Shipping Today & Yesterday ——————– `…provides histories of a good range of sunken ships from the 19th and 20th centuries, and has high-quality illustrations throughout … it’s an attractive publication and an easy read’.
