Sinkings, Salvages and Shipwrecks (American Heritage) by Robert F Burgess,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sinkings, Salvages and Shipwrecks (American Heritage) (Hardcover)
I have found Amazon to be a great place to get deals, but also sharks cruise there too. I picked up Bob's book on Sinkings, Salvages and Shipwrecks 6.95 delivered to my door. I have read it three times. Felt like I was diving partner of Bob's as I read. Your wealth is measured as a deposit of enjoyment in peoples minds. Thanks Bob!!
