Produktbeschreibung

Daniel Lenihan's Submerged shares stories of underwater expeditions in "an adventure-packed ride that rivals any Clive Cussler tome" ( Archeology Magazine). Experience a kaleidoscope of real-life underwater missions as revealed by the Founder and Chief of U.S. National Park Service Submerged Cultural Resources Unit (SCRU), ranging from ancient ruins covered by reservoirs in the desert Southwest to a World War II submarine off the Alaskan coast; from the Isle Royale shipwrecks in the frigid Lake Superior to the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor; from the HL Hunley, the first submarine in history to sink an enemy ship, in Charleston Harbor to the ships sunk by atomic bombs at Bikini Atoll, and much more. "A gripping saga of archeological exploration." -#1 New York Times-bestselling author Clive Cussler "An edge-of-your-seat story that succinctly illustrates the danger of wreck exploration.
