trying to squeeze on 200 sinkings seemed a futile project, especailly as most of them were only classed with obscure references such as "lost on the rocks" or "sunk", and those that suffered a fire which resulted in it being scrapped...when you see a cover (and dramatic) as this one, you want the good stuff, tales of desperation, disaster, heroism, cowardice, and the such, but a great majority of these were meek. however, in saying that, there is some very good descriptions about some well known, and some not so well known wrecks in here, and some dramatic photos too.
