Ship
of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea
by Gary Kinder
The full horror as the mighty Central American, a ship carrying almost
600 people and a wealth of gold, sank in a "perfect hurricane" in 1857....
"The hoarse screams of 500 men rose as she began a slow watery spin--the
water turning faster and faster and faster until the swirling vortex sucked
the men into a suffocating darkness with the once majestic steamer."...
It really is impossible not to become fully engrossed in this fascinating
story of a ship's demise, and the subsequent operation to recover her treasure
some 130 years later. --Naomi Gesinger - Amazon.com

Until
the Sea Shall Free Them
by Robert Frump
The sinking of a coal ship that ran aground in the waters off Norfolk,
Va., in 1983
By the mid-19th century, steamships were eclipsing traditional sailing
ships in the lucrative transatlantic trade. The largest of these, the American
Arctic, collided with a smaller vessel in 1854 with a frightful, and unnecessary,
loss of life. David W. Shaw's The Sea Shall Embrace Them tells the story
of this disaster, eerily similar in many ways to the later sinking of the
Titanic. Shaw lays out the immediate and secondary causes of the disaster:
bad weather, no established shipping lanes, the ship's owners' preference
for speed rather than prudence, and an appalling lack of safety precautions.
As well, he describes the suffering and grotesque deaths of many aboard
and dozens of acts of pure cowardice on the part of the crew. The writing
for the most part is vivid and effective, though the physical layout of
the ship is somewhat murky. The story of the Arctic is not only sad and
the tragedy avoidable, but one that, as Shaw points out, would be repeated
many times in the decades to follow. --H. O'Billovitch - Amazon.com
