Dark Descent by Kevin Mcmurray
On May 29, 1914, after a collision in the Gulf of St Lawrence, the Empress of Ireland sank in minutes, taking 1,012 passengers and crew to their deaths. This work takes readers down into the frigid depths to explore the controversies of the ship's fatal night and the many attempts to salvage her contents.
"Dark Descent is a spellbinding read that perfectly describes the nightmarish conditions of diving on the wreck that remains a tomb of its victims" - Clive Cussler, author, Raise the Titanic!, The Sea Hunters, and Trojan Odyssey."
