SHIPWRECKS OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE ISBN 978-1-883056-52-0 softcover with color covers, 6 x 9 vertical, 220 pages, $20 U.S. 4 color photos, 126 black & white photos GARY GENTILE'S POPULAR DIVE GUIDE SERIES Over 300 GPS and loran numbers included As suggested by the title and series name, this volume covers the most well-known wrecks sunk off the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire. For each of the wrecks covered, a statistical sidebar provides basic information such as the dates of construction and loss, previous names (if any), tonnage and dimensions, builder and owner (at time of loss), port of registry, type of vessel and how propelled, cause of sinking, location (GPS and/or loran coordinates if known), and depth. In most cases, an historical photograph or illustration of the ship leads the text. Throughout the book is scattered a selection of additional photographs. Each volume is full of fascinating narratives of triumph and tragedy, of heroism and disgrace, of human nature at its best and its basest. These books are not about wood and steel, but about flesh and blood, for every shipwreck saga is a human story. Ships may founder, run aground, burn, collide with other vessels, or be torpedoed by a German U-boat. In every case, however, what is emphatically important is what happened to the people who became victims of casualty: how they survived, how they died. Also included are descriptions of the wrecks as they appear on the bottom. At the end of this volume is a bibliography of suggested reading, and a list of GPS and loran numbers of wrecks in and adjacent to the area covered.
