Mearns has discovered some of the world's most fascinating and elusive shipwrecks. From the mighty battleship HMS Hood, sunk in a pyrrhic duel with the Bismarck, to solving the mystery of HMAS Sydney, to the crumbling wooden skeletons of Vasco da Gama's sixteenth century fleet, Mearns has searched for and found dozens of sunken vessels in every ocean of the world. The Shipwreck Hunter chronicles his most intriguing finds. It describes the extraordinary techniques used, the detailed research and mid-ocean stamina and courage required to find a wreck thousands of feet beneath the sea, as well as the moving human stories that lie behind each of these oceanic tragedies. Combining the adventuring derring-do of Indiana Jones with the precision of a scientist, The Shipwreck Hunter opens an illuminating porthole into the shadowy depths of the ocean. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a Mearns, David L. 650 0 $a Treasure troves. 650 0 $a Underwater exploration $v Biography. 650 0 $a Oceanographers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Marine scientists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Shipwrecks $x History. 700 1 $a Woren, Dan, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12131522 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/bsa_9781982535445_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190402012000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DECE0862550C11E9884C074097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
