This review is from: The Search for Sunken Treasure (Treasure Hunters) (Library Binding)
"The Search for Sunken Treasure" tells the tales of some of the most fascinating underwater discoveries and the divers who have found them.
Explore the lost hoards of the treasure fleets, the secrets of the sacred well of Chichen Itza, and the fate of the Titanaic. Find out how precious artifacts were recovered, and what everyday objects preserved beneath the waters can tell us about life many centuries ago. These stories are just part of the wealth of information in this beautiful book. This book tells how the sea has always been dangerous. Tidal waves have swallowed up whole cities and ports. Storms and gales have claimed many ships, from small trading vessels to great battleships and luxury liners. They lie on the seabed for centuries, often with their treasures intact. Sometimes wrecks are found by accident, sometimes a ship is raised to the surface after years of researach. For grades 5 - 12
