Man has been shipwrecked ever since he first went to sea in some form of rude craft and this book tells the reader all about it. Yes, the Titanic is in here - and if ever a famous shipwreck is used in books where it does not belong the Titanic is"" that ship. BUT! , for once, she actually belongs in this book as part of world folklore on shipwrecks. This is an outsize book in which the author has carefully provided the reader with photographs and illustrations of both the ancient and modern. From early Egyptian and Greek vessels right through to the damage caused by the modern super-tanker, we have a history of ships through the eyes of those that were wrecked. Some excellent paintings, graphics and photography make this a first class book which will be of interest to all those with an interest in ships - especially those that were lost.""
