About this listen

 The dangerous waters around the Channel Islands have been testing ships to destruction for centuries, and shipwrecks have always been an integral feature of island life. Following on from their previous collaboration, The Wreck of the Stella, the authors seek to fill a gap in island studies. Shipwrecks of the Channel Islands recounts for the first time in detail the stories of twenty-two major shipwrecks dating from Roman times to the present day. Bringing together detailed historical research and diving expertise, the authors tell the fascinating stories of each vessel, describing the events leading up to the disasters, examining the impact on the lives of those involved, and – where discovered – exploring their final resting places. These narratives are told with the help of log books, newspaper reports, enquiry findings and the stories of survivors. This engrossing book is a moving testament to the power of the sea and the tenacity of the human spirit. Engineering Europe Great Britain Ships & Shipbuilding Transportation
