Few people are unfamiliar with the devastating sinking of the supposedly unsinkable luxury liner the Titanic. However, most people do not know that it was far from the worst maritime disaster in history. This riveting book offers readers a review of the most disastrous shipwrecks, from the Mary Rose in 1545 to the Princess of the Stars in 2008. Students explore the causes and circumstances of these calamities at sea, and through eyewitness accounts and striking detail, learn about the wider impact of the tragedies. This chronicle is a must-read for nautical buffs and landlubbers alike.
