From a Watery Grave - The Discovery and Excavation of La Salle's Shipwreck, La Belle (Paperback, New Ed)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

On a frigid, stormy day in February of 1686, a small French sailing
ship lost control and ran aground in Matagorda Bay. Pounded in the
Texas bay by gale-force winds and storm surges, La Belle slipped
beneath the water and sank to the bottom, where she would remain
for centuries. More than 300 years later, Texas Historical
Commission archeologists discovered La Belle's resting place. Using
cutting-edge technology and scientific innovation, investigators
excavated the shipwreck and salvaged from its watery grave more
than a million artifacts, including bronze guns, muskets, trade
beads, axes, rings, bells, dishes, medicines - everything a New
World colony needed for survival. Authors James E. Bruseth and Toni
S. Turner use vivid photographs and engaging descriptions to share
the excitement of discovery as they piece together both the ship
and its tragic story. For those interested in history, archeology,
or the quest for clues to the past, ""From a Watery Grave"" tells a
riveting tale of nautical adventure in the seventeenth century and
reveals modern scientific archeology at its best.
