Description

Around the shores of the Pacific Ocean, along the western coastline of California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska, lie the remains of legions of vessels of every description and every flag.

Some lie buried in the depths, never to be found. Others lie as twisted remains along the beaches or entombed down in the sands.

Still others have been completely eradicated by the forces of nature.

A few carried treasure; some have been recovered but most never will be.

Though the greatest treasure has been discovered along the Caribbean and eastern seaboards, most of it was originally lost there while much of the Pacific lay undiscovered.

The Pacific rim may yet yield finds of fabulous value.

These ideas and many others are explored in Jim Gibbs' most recent book, Peril at Sea.

This is a fascinating work on peril at sea and the continuing battle of man against the elements.

Each chapter is an accurate chronicle by location of the ships and their sailors who met fateful ends along the Pacific Coastline.
