Shipwreck! : a chronicle of marine accidents & disasters in British Columbia / John MacFarlane.
"Author John MacFarlane has carefully curated the stories of 1,900 British Columbia shipwrecks and nautical disasters. The waters of British Columbia are dangerous – and have claimed thousands of vessels and thousands of lives over the last 250 years. The best–selling author is a wellknown authority on BC’s nautical history who has been researching these vessels for more than 45 years. This is the second edition of a collection of the most significant of those disasters. Each one is documented with detailed accounts in an easy–to–read, easy–to–access book that will please the casual reader as well as the most dedicated nautical historian. In these carefully researched accounts, the author has separated myth from fact to tell true stories of British Columbia marine historical events. Whether it is reading by a casual browser, or historian reference material, this book will delight anyone interested in shipwrecks. Also included are about 80 photographs (many of them not previously published) of actual wrecks – (there would have been more but in history wreck scenes were seldom "Kodak Moments")."-- from publisher.
