RICHES FROM WRECKS: THE RECOVERY OF SUNKEN CARGOES

by Fergus Hinds

Published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd.. 1st. 1995

Very good condition. A topic of fascination to all manner of mariners; by deliberately non-specialist presentation the glamour and fun of real-life treasure hunting may be relished by anyone. Large format. Glazed pictorial boards. B/w and colour photos and diagrams.

SIGNED by the author (with inscription) to verso of half-title page. Spine faded from red to white, title to spine almost invisible. Uneven fading to spine edge on front board, tiny patch to rear board. Contents clean.
