Underwater archaeology in the depths of our oceans. UNESCO estimates that there are around three million shipwrecks in our oceans, many of them at depths that can only be found and explored with high-tech equipment. Reports such as the discovery of the Titanic, the Bismarck or the Endurance in Antarctica Ernest Shackleton's legendary expedition ship made headlines around the world. In the Black Sea, archaeologists found Roman ships over 2,000 years old that are perfectly preserved. Why have wrecks become thriving oases of life? What techniques are used to explore the deep sea and document finds? This volume answers these and many other questions and provides insights into the exciting world of deep-sea archaeology. An international team of authors reports on their work. Spectacular images bring the shipwrecks and their stories to life.
