About This Item
Explorer and underwater archaeologist Wignall turns his attention in this book to a series of excavations of ships ranging from a 2nd century Roman ship off Sicily to a nineteenth century steamer off the North wales coast. Most of the ships described are are among the most important and historic ships of the Elizabethan era, including flagships from the Spanish Armada Santa Maria de la Rosa and the Gran Griffin. All the excavations are underpinned by extensive preparatory research, and the accounts themselves convey the excitement and frustration of such a venture.
An excellent copy. Pages are bright and tidy, possibly unread. No marks, staining or creasing. Cloth boards are tight and clean. DJ is unclipped and unmarked with no real noticeable wear except for very minor sun fade on the spine. There is the original David & Charles price sticker at the bottom of the front DJ flap. Now covered in professional clear cover. See all photos. 252pp with many B&W photos, drawings and maps. Index
