Ships and Shipwrecks of the Americas by George F Bass

Ships and Shipwrecks of the Americas brings together for the first time the remarkable work of leading nautical archaeologists, each with firs-hand diving experience. Twelve chapters tell the story of watercraft in the Americas, from the first native dugouts and balsa rafts to the sinking of the Titanic and the loss of the Battleship Arizona at Pearl Harbor.

GEORGE F.BASS, the founding president of Texas A&M University's Department of Nautical Archaeology, is the first person to fully dig an old shipwreck on the seabed. Among his many honors is the National Medal of Science, which was bestowed by President Barack Obama. Serce Limani: An Eleventh-Century Shipwreck, Vol. 1, is the first volume of his work. Texas A&M University Press published 1: The Ship and Its Anchorage, Crew, and Passengers in 2004. ROBERT H.BRILL is the coauthor of Glass and Glassmaking in Ancient Mesopotamia and the author of Chemical Studies of Early Glasses: Volumes 1 and 2.

BERTA LLEDO works for the Institute of Nautical Archaeology in Turkey as an archaeologist, database manager, and graphic designer. Serce Limani, Volume I was coauthored by SHEILA MATTHEWS, a project specialist for the Texas A&M Nautical Archaeology Program and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology.
