Fascinating accounts of shipwrecks and how NUMA discovered them. Very readable, with just enough detail to make it interesting, not enough detail to get you bogged down in trivialities. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743480694, Mass Market Paperback)

FROM THE CREATOR OF DIRK PITT® -- THE WORLD'S #1 ACTION HERO...REAL STORIES. REAL EXCITEMENT. REAL ADVENTURE.

THE SEA HUNTERS

A steamboat goes up in flames...and down to the bottom of the sea. A locomotive plunges into a creek...and vanishes into mystery. A German U-boat sends an American troop transport, and eight hundred on board, to a watery grave...on Christmas Eve.

Clive Cussler and his crack team of NUMA (National Underwater Marine Agency, a nonprofit organization that searches for historic shipwrecks) volunteers have found the remains of these and numerous other tragic wrecks. Here are the dramatic, true accounts of twelve of the most remarkable underwater discoveries made by Cussler and his team. As suspenseful and satisfying as the best of his Dirk Pitt novels, The Sea Hunters is a unique story of true commitment and courage.
