Christine Hogarth presents a compelling survey of wrecks spanning nearly two centuries, illuminating what these submerged time capsules reveal about trade, warfare, navigation, and daily life aboard ships of the period. Drawing on underwater excavation records and historical documentation, the narrative uncovers the stories behind each vessel — from the cargo they carried to the circumstances that sent them to the ocean floor. Written with an accessible yet authoritative tone, the work illustrates how shipwrecks serve not merely as tragedies of the sea, but as invaluable windows into the material culture and ambitions of a formative era in maritime history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887834935515,"sku":"2026770001996-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/80b6395f-2a9e-4099-9476-435f5c48f832.png?v=1781746892","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001996-secondhand-shipwreck-discoveries-from-our-earliest-shipwrecks-1622-1797","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
