37 stories of the world''s greatest shipwrecks, discoveries, mysteries, and disappearances, with illustrated color maps highlighting each of these storied locations (Book 4 of the bestselling Atlas series)
In waters across the globe, shipwrecks, great discoveries, disappearances, or miraculous rescues make up a vast and fascinating map of the seven seas, where anything can happen.
The thirty-seven sea fortune stories in this book cover all aspects of high-seas adventure and feature prominent human incidents and tragic events. Combining tales of adventures and legends, they fuel the imagination of all those captivated by the sea and its sailors.
The most-famous stories are part of our maritime heritage, like the legend of the Flying Dutchman, which inspired the ghost ship in Pirates of the Caribbean, or the fire that destroyed the MS Georges Philippar off the coast of Somalia, causing the death of senior reporter Albert Londres, who was then returning from China. Some are based on real historical events, like the sinking of La Belle, which put an end to the conquest of North America by the French, or the historic duel between the CSS Alabama, a Confederate raider, and a Union frigate USS Kearsarge, which moved the American Civil War to the English Channel. Many more have been long forgotten and are ready to come to life again.
