Lost Treasure Ships of the Twentieth Century

A beautiful book that explores some truely fascinating stories. It is more "grown up" than Pickford's other book "The Atlas of Shipwreck and Treasure". The Atlas, although enjoyable, always left me wanting to know a lot more. In this book each story is clearly meticulously researched and presented in far more detail. This creates a far more satisfying read. Many historians can write interestingly about their subject, however, Pickford not only achieves this, but has a captivating style which most fiction writers should be jealous of! This book is one that you'll want to continually re-read, it has certainly become one of my favourites.
