In one of the most comprehensive and insightful views of shipping history in the Atlantic ever assembled, Sheard's mastery of detail is coupled with an innate sense of the big picture to create the definitive lost-ship chronicle. With Titanic mania showing no real sign of subsiding, Sheard tackles all the wrecks from colonial times to the present off New York Harbor (one map shows every wreck-hundreds of them-off Long Island.) What's more, he does it with a breezy but serious style, facts, charts, and maps, maps, and more maps. This information is colorful, insightful, and sometimes surprising (for instance, more U-boats than expected sank off the coast of New York), and when it is not surprising (let's face it, every story ends the same-the boat sinks), Sheard offers so much background (lots of color photos, too) that even the casual mariner will be enthralled.
