1st ED. pb. 16pp. 2 b/w plates & 10 illus. good cond. An article by the author published in "The Mariner’s Mirror", the quarterly journal of the Society For Nautical Research Vol. 51 No. 4. In 1963 while he was surveying ancient wrecks off the island of Sapienza, which is across the straits from Methone on the south west tip of Greece, the author heard about some more modern wrecks. These included the Turkish 36 gun frigate Asia, sunk by the Greeks in 1825, a big schooner named Heraclea, sunk by the Germans in 1940, the Congo or Conga which sank in 1880’s and the English man-of-war H.M.S. Columbine which sank in 1824. He decided to look at these wrecks the following year while working on the ancient wrecks. This is a report on those surveys. |
