Shipwrecks of the P&O Line (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 9 - 17 working days

The rich history of the P&O Line began in the 1830s when steam
power was still in its infancy, and this, coupled with longer
voyages, meant that shipwrecks became inevitable - all part of the
risk of running a pioneer shipping company at that time. Shipwrecks
of the P&O Line explores these losses, starting with the
inaugural mail service sailing of the wooden paddle steamer Don
Juan, which ran aground in fog in 1837, and ending 120 years later
with the cargo liner Shillong (2), which sank following a collision
in the Red Sea in 1957. Sam Warwick and Mike Roussel include a
detailed history of each vessel leading up to the time of its loss
and meticulously investigate the events surrounding the wrecking of
each vessel, with exclusive accounts from divers who have explored
the wreck, along with striking underwater images. Complete with
practical data for divers, this unique history offers a fresh
analysis of maritime history, of interest to maritime history
enthusiasts as well as the many who have taken up diving as a
leisure sport.
