As a "Sea Hunter" and host, with novelist Clive Cussler, for the new National Geographic International television series, join Delgado as the team searches for, discovers and explores, among others, the wrecks of RMS Carpathia, the ship that rescued Titanic’s survivors; Mary Celeste, the infamous "ghost ship" found sailing alone without a soul aboard, in the mid-Atlantic in 1872; Vrouw Maria, a perfectly preserved Dutch cargo ship of 1771, discovered on the bottom of the Baltic Ocean packed with cargo, including crates of long-lost Old Masters belonging to Empress Catherine the Great of Russia; the lost ships of the Mongol fleet of Kublai Khan that invaded Japan in 1274; and wreck of the USS Mississinewa, the first ship sunk by a Japanese "suicide submarine" in WWII. Stories and personalities of the past are interspersed with visits and voyages around the world - crossing the Atlantic, drifting in a powerless ship at the mercy of gales in the heart of the Pacific, and navigating through the fabled Northwest Passage. The undeniable thrill of being where history was made make "Adventures of a Sea Hunter" a highly entertaining, personal account of the exploration of the sea and the past that rests beneath the waves.

Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ...righted, and pushed off with sixteen persons in her. Mrs. McLennan and her child were this time more fortunate, and obtained seats in her. From a Mr. Glennie, who was also one of the rescued, a full account was obtained of the adventures of the party. Having cleared the ship, they drifted astern rapidly. The ship was going then about eight knots an hour. In common with the lifeboat, the pinnace was in imminent peril of swamping, more from inability to handle her, however, than from the violence of the sea. A spar towed astern steadied the boat, and something like system was observed. Through a vast hole in the "Amazon's" hull Mr. Glennie could make out the glowing machinery, and he fancied he could see the brave captain and Mr. Warburton on the after-part of the deck. Mrs. McLennan's shawl, hoisted on a couple of boat hooks, served the purpose of a sail, a blanket being given by one of the sailors to the lady in exchange. The pinnace had left the "Amazon" less than half an hour when she was in a blaze from stem to stern. Drenched, hungry, and ill-clad, the people in the pinnace suffered severely from cold. At dawn they almost gave themselves up for lost on discovering a leak, which defied their attempts at baling. Stone, one of the engineers, however, with a portion of his clothing, stopped the hole, and the two oars were pulled with new vigour. Mrs. McLennan did her part, and a valuable part too it was under such circumstances, by bidding her companions be of good cheer. On Sunday morning as the sun rose high they fancied they descried a sail, and this gave the rowers strength for another hour's hard work; but not a speck appeared on the horizon. The sun was directly overhead when another cry of "a sail..".

When you think of a shipwreck, what image springs to mind? A tall sailing ship on the rocks, or perhaps the sinking Titanic surrounded by lifeboats? Historian Richard M. Jones has put together 50 stories of lost ships throughout history that are among the most important, infamous and in some cases tragic ships in the whole of history. When did two liners collide and lead to one of the greatest rescues in history? How did a Scotsman become an American hero against his own country? Which warship sank with gold bullion on board during the Second World War? This book tells the story of these fascinating cases plus many more, explores the largest shipwrecks, the treasure wrecks and the ones that are talked about still as the most famous. Starting at the tiny island of Alderney in 1592, we take a journey through history, through the First and Second World Wars, into the age of the passenger ferry and finally to the modern day migrant issues in the Mediterranean Sea. Never before have these fifty wrecks come together in a book that really brings home to the reader just how many lost vessels there are, how deadly many can be and what this teaches us today about our own history.
