    Need reading recommendations on shipwrecks ...

    Hey all! This is my first post at the forums and while I am hopelessly clumsy when it comes to all things water related, I have recently become completely enamored with stores of discovering and exploring shipwrecks. I've read Shadow Divers and several other books on the Titanic, Brittanic, and the Edmund Fitzgerald, but I'm having a hard time locating additional books on the subject. Can anyone recommend some books on the subject? Thanks!!

    Hi ZieDiverGirl:

    Try Shipwrecks: Diving the Graveyard of the Atlantic, Graveyard of the Atlantic: Shipwrecks of the North Carolina Coast, Deep Descent: Adventure and Death Diving the Andrea Doria, and maybe The Last Dive: A Father and Son's Fatal Descent into the Ocean's Depths. I am not too crazy on the last one but maybe I just need to read it again.

    Happy reading and to ease that clumsiness in the water, get in the water a bit more if you can (you know, practice makes better). If you live in a place that you have to take a boat trip out, well, you just got a reading list to pick from to keep your mind of the boat ride.

    I hope this helps.

    With kind regards,
    Thomas
