Exploring Shipwrecks

Publisher: New Holland Publishers

Ships have been sailing the oceans of the world for thousands of years, and for just as long, they have been sinking to the bottom and turning into shipwrecks.

This fabulous book submerges the reader into the world of shipwrecks – exploring everything from how ships sink, how shipwrecks are salvaged, different types of shipwrecks and how shipwrecks are transformed into incredible artificial reefs.

Full of fascinating facts and figures, the reader can explore a range of shipwrecks underwater to discover their history and see what they look like today.

Illustrated with wonderful pictures, Exploring Shipwrecks is an entertaining and educational book that explorers of all ages will enjoy.

Nigel Marsh is an underwater photographer and photojournalist whose work has been published in numerous magazines, newspapers and books worldwide. Nigel has dived extensively around Australia, especially the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea, and throughout Asia, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and the Caribbean. His underwater photographs have won a number of international photographic competitions.


Nigel’s passion for diving and the marine environment evolved from an early age while snorkeling the beaches off Australia. Three trips to the Great Barrier Reef as a teenager sealed his love for the marine world.

He has also worked closely with a number of research scientists while producing articles on sharks and rays, and his images have assisted with studies into the population and movement of reef manta rays, grey nurse sharks and leopard sharks.
