5.0 out of 5 stars The Search for Sunken Treasure, April 20, 2000
"The Search for Sunken Treasure" is a classic Bob Marx book. Sir Robert has been known as "Numero Uno" in the treasure hunting fraternity for the past forty years, and this book shows why he has been and is "Numero Uno". Marxs' first hand experience as the foremost underwater archaeologist are evident in this discription of the more famous shipwrecks of modern times and the men who search for and find and salvage these time capsules. The book holds ones attention, and once started, will not be set down until finished. It is history that is interesting and exciting. A must for all who enjoy the sea, a must for all who enjoy treasure, a must for all who enjoy the excitement of the search.
