About the Author David L.
Combining the adventuring derring-do of Indiana Jones with the precision of a scientist, The Shipwreck Hunter opens an illuminating porthole into the shadowy depths of the ocean.
It describes the Extraordinary techniques used, the detailed research and mid-Ocean stamina (and courage) required to find a wreck thousands of feet beneath the sea, as well as the moving human stories that lie behind each of these oceanic tragedies.
The Shipwreck Hunter chronicles his most intriguing finds.
From the mighty battleship HMS Hood (sunk in a pyrrhic duel with the Bismarck) to solving the mystery of HMAS Sydney, to the crumbling wooden skeletons of Vasco da Gama\'s sixteenth century fleet, Mearns has searched for and found dozens of sunken vessels in every Ocean of the world.
Mearns has discovered some of the world\'s most fascinating and elusive shipwrecks.
