Leading archaeologist and consummate storyteller James Delgado takes readers on a rollicking deep-sea dive into his highly unusual life’s work: locating and exploring the world’s most famous shipwrecks. Colorful characters, near misses, and the thrill of standing — or floating — in history’s footprints make for a highly entertaining look at the fascinating history and glittering bounty beneath the waves. Included are accounts of Pearl Harbor, the Titanic, and Bikini Atoll, site of the world’s first nuclear tests.
