Wrecks covered in Shipwrecks of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland Waters are: Alum Chine, American Mariner (target ship), Benjamin O.
At the end of each volume is a bibliography of suggested reading, and a list of GPS and loran numbers of wrecks in and adjacent to the area covered.
Also included are descriptions of the wrecks as they appear on the bottom.
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.
Ships may founder, run aground, burn, collide with other vessels, or be torpedoed by a German U-boat.
These books are not about wood and steel, but about flesh and blood, for every shipwreck saga is a human story.
Each volume is full of fascinating narratives of triumph and tragedy, of heroism and disgrace, of human nature at its best and its basest.
Throughout the book is scattered a selection of additional photographs.
In most cases, an historical photograph or illustration of the ship leads the text.
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.
