About the Book

Oceans Odyssey 2 presents the results of the discovery and archaeological survey of ten deep-water wrecks by Odyssey Marine Exploration. In the Western Approaches and western English Channel, a mid-17th century armed merchantman, the guns of Admiral Balchin's Victory (1744), the mid-18th century French privateer La Marquise de Tourny and six German U-boats lost at the end of World War II are examined in depth. From the Atlantic coast of the United States, the Jacksonville 'Blue China' wreck's British ceramics, tobacco pipes and American glass wares bring to life the story of a remarkable East Coast schooner lost in the mid-19th century. These unique sites expand the boundaries of human knowledge, highlighting the great promise of deep-sea wrecks, the technology needed to explore them and the threats from nature and man that these wonders face. Challenges to managing underwater cultural heritage are also discussed, along with proposed solutions for curating and storing collections.

Review :
For the academic, researcher, historian, shipwreck buff, diver and ocean enthusiast Odyssey Marines two-volume set is indispensible. While the papers are scientific they are easy to read and fascinating. The photographs are amazing in fidelity and content. The information contained in the volumes would require years of research to find in scattered archives. The discoveries themselves are news of the century.' -- The Epoch Times The Epoch Times ...very well illustrated, easily read text...[...]...archaeologists, historians, and museum/historic sites interpreters will find it very useful for topics such as cannon, ceramics, and shipboard tools." -- Nautical Research Journal Nautical Research Journal
