Deep
Descent : Adventure and Death Diving the Andrea Doria
by Kevin F. McMurray
Book Description: On a dense, foggy, late July evening in 1956,
the Italian-flagged cruise liner Andrea Doria, bound for New York, was
struck broadside by another cruise ship. After an agonizing eleven hours,
the relentless sea would drag her down, settling the Doria uneasily into
the murky Atlantic ocean floor nearly two hundred and fifty feet below.
AmazingIy, due to a daring and fevered rescue operation by her oceangoing
brethren, only fifty-one of the more than 1,700 people on board both ships
were killed in the collision. Years have passed since that tragedy, yet
the Andrea Doria is still taking lives.
Considered the Mt. Everest of diving, the Andrea Doria is the ultimate
deepwater wreck challenge -- lying in an area long known as the Bermuda
Triangle of the Northeast, some fifty miles south of Nantucket Island and
two hundred miles east of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. This region, no stranger
to disaster, is fog-shrouded and prone to sudden changes of wind, weather,
and tide. In addition to many shipping disasters, it has borne mute witness
to such recent tragedies as the fatal crash of John F. Kennedy Jr.'s small
plane and the mysterious downing of EgyptAir Flight 990. It is an area
that guards its secrets well, only surrendering its treasures to the bravest
ormost determined seekers.

Submerged:
Adventures of America's Most Elite Underwater Archeology Team
by Daniel Lenihan
Book Description:
One of the world's leading underwater archeologists recounts experiences
from his 24 years as founder and head of the elite, award-winning Submerged
Cultural Resources Unit (SCRU) team of the U.S. National Park Service-adventure
writing at its best. In Submerged, Lenihan (the co-author with Gene Hackman
of the novel Wake of the Perdido Star) takes the reader on a kaleidoscope
of underwater experiences-to ancient ruins covered by reservoirs in the
desert southwest, to the lower rings of hell to retrieve the bodies of
drowned divers, to gripping accounts of personal survival in underwater
caves, ships, and submerged buildings. Among the astonishing, often harrowing
assignments he recalls: • The Isle Royale shipwrecks: Surveying ten large
ships sunk from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries in the middle of the
frigid and deep Lake Superior. • The USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor: Executing
the largest mapping project ever conducted underwater, and his personal
impressions as, the leader of the first expedition to explore and video
the entire ship in 1983. • Investigating the hull of the HL Hunley, the
first submarine in history to sink an enemy ship, in Charleston Harbor
during the Civil War. • Resurveying of the ships sunk by atomic bombs
at Bikini Atoll, including the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga and Japanese
battleship Nagato.
This fascinating book, written with a mixture of wonder, intensity,
pathos, and humor, is not only a unique adventure book, but a work that
records, in one volume for the first time, the historic and social significance
of the underwater research programs conducted by this remarkable unit of
the US National Park Service. Maps, 20 color photographs, index.

Underwater
Archaeology : Exploring the World Beneath the Sea (Discoveries)
by Jean-Yves Blot, Alexandra Campbell (Translator)
Some of the most exciting archaeological discoveries aren't made by
Indiana Jones wannabes prowling through the jungle in search of forgotten
cities or by Egyptologists looking for lost passageways in the pyramids.
They are found by divers exploring shipwrecks such as the Titanic and the
U.S.S. Monitor. Every now and then they even uncover the remains of human
settlements sleeping beneath the waves. Underwater Archaeology is an inexpensive
and colorful book about the people who do this work and what they sometimes
bring to the surface--a great introduction to the subject. It is another
fine title in the Discoveries series of books published by Harry N. Abrams.
