Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book documents and assesses the wreckages of over 40 vessels that came to grief in the Channel Islands National Park and National Marine Sanctuary. The islands' position meant that ships navigating the close waters of the Santa Barbara Channel could easily come to grief on the is…lands' shores, and the author provides vivid descriptions of the cruel fates that befell many ships in one of the world's major shipping lanes. The book's account of the historical context for the shipwrecks is detailed and rich, and the author ably discusses the technological developments of the time to show how the ships were ill -prepared to deal with the conditions of the Channel. The author also includes an insightful and compelling section on the region's prehistoric inhabitants and their watercraft, drawing on primary sources to provide an unmatched background on the maritime history of the area. The author not only provides an overview of the wrecks, but he also delves into the lives of those who sailed on these ships and the impact of these vessels on the area. The book provides a powerful insight into the lives and struggles of the sailors and crews who sailed these waters, and through these individual narratives, the author brings the history of the region to life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
