I enjoyed Mike's presentation very much, and could not put down the book last night!
There's nothing like photographs of ships, floating or sunk, and the brief information captions really accent this 130 page compilation.
Liked the new photos of local wrecks I've been diving on: The Holsten - (Flower Wreck), Gwalia - (Middle Grounds Wreck), and of course the Nohab - (South Jack Wreck.)
Mike, what a striking resemblance... the Nohab on page 26 and the Isis on page 106. Especially after seeing the early Lensahn/Nohab photo with just one stack. Built just one year apart, 1901 & 1902 respectively! Perhaps the same German builder?
For new Florida divers the book has many of the classic wrecks included as well, like the Blackthorn, Bayronto, Baja California, etc. in the Gulf of Mexico.
Great read!
