Description

Book Synopsis:

Readers of books that have the word "Shipwrecks" in the title often have ulterior motives. Treasure hunters seek out the shortest route to the goodies. Archaeologists need to find out where things are and what have been done to them over the years. Historians often need that one bit of illusive information to drive a point across. Students require a data base to draw from to satisfy their instructor. Kids like cool coloring books. The casual reader is often looking for a place to put his or her imagination to play for a while. In the end, we all get drawn into that bottomless pit of information that is called "History". I hope you find what you are looking for.

"The list of disastrous wrecks in Hawaiian waters is com- paratively short when one considers how inhospitable are the coasts and, the absence of lighthouses and other indications which may serve to warn the storm tossed mariners of danger. Every autumn strews the Atlantic with wrecks and hardly one of them does not bring sorrow to many homes. But in the Hawaiian seas, the freedom from great gales makes it generally possible to save the sailor if not the ship." - Pacific Commercial Advertiser, February 11, 1892
