Description: |
ex libris with the usual markings, page with card sleeve removed, dust jacket covered in plastic includes photos the author of this book has worked closely with Jacques Cousteau and published three books with him. In this work, Dumas presents a fascinating account of the exploration of old undersea wrecks around the shores of the Mediterranean and in the Red Sea. He relates the exciting story of how these millennia-old wrecks (many of them Roman) were discovered, and how despite the deposits of hundreds of years, they were differentiated from sea bottom. Not only does Dumas capture an ancient way of life but he also describes artifacts such as a millwheel, anchors, perfume bottles, rouge containers, votive coins etc. |
