description: Until the early 1900's. the east coast of central Florida was a nearly deserted frontier. Many ships have been wrecked and lost off these shores during the past four hundred years of maritime activity in the New World. Originally from New England, the author has spent the last four years diving on, and elucidating, the sometimes obscure history of almost fifty shipwrecks. Profusely illustrated with photographs, the book recounts stories of quiet heroism and masterful seamanship, many never before told in print. Contemporary sources reveal true stories behind many of the wrecks. Shipwreck survivors located by the author also tell their stories here for the first time.As the title implies, the book is intended primarily as a guide for divers, complete with descriptions and locations of the wrecks. However, its presentation gives it universal appeal to students of history or those who enjoy tales of the sea.
