Although shipwrecks have become less common in recent decades, their implications have become more wide-ranging: since the 1960s, foundering supertankers have caused massive environmental disasters, and in 2021 the blocking of the Suez Canal by the giant container ship Ever Given had a serious impact on global trade.
Reviews / Votes
Alan G. Jamieson's Out of the Depths provides the reader with a worldwide, yet itemized, view of the history of shipwrecks from early civilization to the present day. Jamieson offers concise, accessible coverage of many important shipwrecks through time, whether or not they have been located. This book is more than encyclopedic, because for some wrecks he presents many more details about the people involved, to remind the reader that there are tragic personal stories behind each of the hundreds of thousands of shipwrecks throughout history.' * Warren Riess, Emeritus Research Associate Professor of History, The University of Maine *More details
