Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8 This book about marine archaeology explains how ancient ships are salvaged and what they can reveal about the past. During the 20th Century, technology has rapidly and dramatically improved man's ability to dive and search for sunken ships. Aerial search, side-scan sonar, sonar sub-bottom profiler, and magnetometer are some of the latest searching tools used
