From National Book Award winning author Martin W. Sandler, here is
a fascinating look at what shipwrecks reveal about our world's past
and how exploring them led to the development of a whole new field
of science: marine archaeology. Most of the world's ocean floor
remains to be discovered. In fact, it's estimated to be home to
over 3 million sunken vessels and countless treasures of the past.
This enthralling and adventure-filled nonfiction book for young
readers recounts some of the most captivating shipwrecks from
history, ranging from the Shinan, a Chinese merchant ship laden
with riches from the 14th century, to the the HMS Erebus and
Terror, two polar exploration ships that mysteriously disappeared
in the early 1800s. Combining new research, stunning archival
material, and vivid storytelling, Shipwrecked! dives deep into the
world of marine archaeology and shows young readers what each
discovery reveals about the world before our time.
