The Mammoth Book of Shipwrecks and Sea Disasters by Richard Russell Lawrence
No other environment matches the danger of a hostile sea. This remarkable collection brings together over 60 extraordinary eyewitness accounts, from through the ages, of mishap, error and survival on the high seas. It includes modern cases like the high-ocean dismasting of Kingfisher 2, Richard van Pham's 100 days adrift in 2002, the Kursk submarine disaster and the Exxon Valdez, as well as legendary and lesser known historical events like the HMS Proserpine catastrophe, the Monsarrat storm at sea, and the wreck of the Medusa.
Richard Russell Lawrence has worked in the field of art and design for over twenty years. His previous books include The Mammoth Book of How it Happened - Naval Battles and The Illustrated Companion to Nelson's Navy. He lives in southwest London.
