When you think of something being lost at sea, you imagine a ship
sinking gracefully, the survivors being rescued or a tragedy being
caught on camera. But what if a ship is lost at sea without trace?
What if an aircraft takes off on a routine flight and is never seen
again? This book details over fifty of the most mysterious
vanishings, ships that have made headlines but have never been
found, both famous and forgotten cases that have left an outward
ripple of tragedy and mystique. Most people have heard of the Mary
Celeste crew vanishing, but how many knew that this was not the
last case of an entire crew going missing? What about the three
Scottish lighthouse keepers who were never seen again? Or the world
famous aviation pioneers who took flight to never return? This book
will tell you that MH370 was not the first airliner to disappear
over the sea, nor was the Bermuda Triangle actually the cause of so
many disappearing ships. How could six airplanes disappear in one
day? Why did a ship with over 300 people on board not send a single
distress call? Which ships vanished and then later messages in a
bottle suddenly turn up, not just once but two separate shipwrecks?
Lost at Sea in Mysterious Circumstances will cover all these and
more as we reveal the stories of some of the most fascinating
incidents above and below the waves.
