Wrecked
There are over three million shipwrecks on Earth. They are many things at once: memorials to lives lost, science experiments, treasure chests, works of art, and home to millions of living creatures.
They are time machines, allowing modern explorers a glimpse into the past.
From spacecraft and fighter planes to exploration vessels, merchant ships, and cruise liners, discover the gripping stories of conflict and courage behind some of the world’s most iconic shipwrecks.
With stunning illustrations from natural history illustrator Howard Gray, this is a fascinating visual exploration into the incredible world of shipwrecks. Aimed at readers aged 8 and up, Wrecked brings history to life with a thrilling look at famous wrecks, including the SS Eduard Bohlen, the Endurance, USS Kittiwake, Nanhai One, Clotilda, Titanic, the Odysseus, HMS Victoria, HMAS Sydney, HSK Cormoran, and the Vasa.
