5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone interested in Md and Va naval history will love this!, September 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Shipwrecks on the Chesapeake: Maritime Disasters on Chesapeake Bay and Its Tributaries, 1608-1978 (Hardcover)
Extreamly facinating reading for anyone interested in naval history of the Chesapeak Bay. This is a well written book of events that helped shape our nation. From 1608 to 1978, the author clearly explains the events of maritime disasters on the Chesapeak Bay and it tributaries. The author has taken the best stories of the hundreds of ship wrecks and sinkings on the bay. For the wreck diver researching, this is a must have book. In the back of the book is a listing of several hundred ships lost on the bay. It lists the type of ship, approximate location, date lost and more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Detailed History, July 6, 2005
This review is from: Shipwrecks on the Chesapeake: Maritime Disasters on Chesapeake Bay and Its Tributaries, 1608-1978 (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book - well researched and filled with fascinating stories. If you are looking for a pop book filled with spooky shipwreck stories this is not for you. If you are serious about the subject and wish a detailed and in depth history of Chesapeake shipwrecks and can handle an actual history book - this is the one for you. There is a lack of artwork/photographs. The writing is well done though by the nature of the subject it is a bit jumpy from subject to subject. A wonderful effort - well worth the price !

Well written and solid research goes into this book. All in all a useful book for the library, to go with the rest of Donald Shomette's work.
