"This unique book is a must for everybody who is interested not only in historical shipwrecks around Hispaniola Island (actually the Dominican Republic and Haiti), but also in pirate history."
Almost 400 shipwrecks are described in this book, many of them laden with unimaginable treasures and with exact locations, histories, photos, maps and drawings. This book does not only cover Spanish shipwrecks of the Colonial Era - though they form a major part of the content of the book - but also English, French, Dutch, Portuguese and historically documented lost pirate ships as well.
Dozens of maps with locations of the shipwrecks, more than 50 photos and many drawings give the reader a more detailed view. These sometimes long - forgotten shipwrecks still lie at the bottom of crystal clear waters around Hispaniola Island, which, for many decades, was the most important base of the onquest of the New World.
