Summary
This gripping memoir by the world's foremost marine geologist is an enthralling blend of maritime history, popular science, and Clive Cussler-style adventure.
David L. Mearns has discovered some of the world's most fascinating and elusive shipwrecks. From the mighty battleship HMS Hood, sunk in a pyrrhic duel with the Bismarck, to solving the mystery of HMAS Sydney, to the crumbling wooden skeletons of Vasco da Gama's 16th-century fleet, Mearns has searched for and found dozens of sunken vessels in every ocean of the world.
The Shipwreck Hunter chronicles his most intriguing finds. It describes the extraordinary techniques used, the detailed research, and mid-ocean stamina and courage required to find a wreck thousands of feet beneath the sea, as well as the moving human stories that lie behind each of these oceanic tragedies. Combining the adventuring derring-do of Indiana Jones with the precision of a scientist, The Shipwreck Hunter opens an illuminating porthole into the shadowy depths of the ocean.

Fascinating, exciting & educational
David Mearns does such a brilliant job relaying his adventures as shipwreck hunter extraordinaire. He didn't drop a beat & I feel sad I've come to the of this audiobook. The only things I can think of to follow it are 'Treasure Island' & reading around the man who discovered The Titanic (name escapes me at the moment - but have purchased his audiobook which thankfully is on Audible!). Off to continue my adventures - sorry - other's adventures now!😁
