Dramatic sea rescues, tragic shipwrecks, tales of personal daring…
The Washington coast, with its treacherous offlying reefs, shallow bar port entrances and storm-swept headlands, has claimed many fine ships and crews. R. E.

Nautilus: The Story of the Man Under the Sea
Man's exploration of the ocean depths is fully investigated in this handsomely illustrated book that tells the dramatic story of the conquest of inner space. From the eccentric pioneers of the late 19th century to the supercraft of the modern world, the author presents the complete picture, often using the words of the men who invented and worked on the machines.
Shipwrecks
Shipwrecks! The very word evokes dramatic stories, images of tragedy and courage alike -- the Titanic going down as its orchestra played, the surprise torpedoing of the passenger ship Lusitania during World War I. Cathie Cush, an experienced diver, brings these stories alive with fascinating tales of once-great mistresses of the sea that now rest upon the ocean floor, and the people and the cargo they carried. Chock-full of lavish illustrations and practical information on seeing these wrecks under the sea, Shipwrecks goes beneath the waves to bring readers the underwater world.
