Clive Cussler and Craig Dirgo: The Sea Hunters II (UK 2023)

From the Publisher:
The thrilling account of #1 New York Times bestselling author Clive Cusslers's real-life search for lost ships, planes, and other marvels that changed history.

For decades, Clive Cussler's real-life NUMA®, the National Underwater and Marine Agency, has scoured rivers and seas in search of lost ships of historic significance. His teams have been inundated by tidal waves and beset by obstacles - both human and natural - but the results, and the stories behind them, have been dramatic.

Here Cussler and colleague Craig Dirgo provide an extraordinary narrative of their true seagoing - and land - adventures, including:

- Their searches for the famous ghost ship Mary Celeste, found floating off the Azores in 1874 with no one on board

- The Carpathia, the ship that rescued the Titanic survivors and was itself lost to U-boats six years later

- And L'Oiseau Blanc, the aeroplane that almost beat The Spirit of St. Louis across the Atlantic before disappearing in the Maine woods.

All these, plus steamboats, ironclads, a seventeenth-century flagship, a certain famous PT boat, and even a dirigible, are tantalising targets as Cussler proves again that truth can be "at least as fun, and sometimes stranger, than fiction" (Men's Journal).

From the Publisher:
REAL ADVENTURES. REAL GLORY.
For nearly twenty-five years, the real-life NUMA, Clive Cussler's National Underwater & Marine Agency, has scoured rivers and seas in search of lost ships of historic significance -- such as the Confederate submarine Hunley, which they raised in 2000.

In this second volume of true stories, Cussler and colleague Craig Dirgo target the famous ghost ship Mary Celeste; the Carpathia, the ship that rescued the Titanic survivors only to be lost to U-boats six years later; L'Oiseau Blanc, the airplane that almost beat The Spirit of St. Louis across the Atlantic before disappearing in the Maine woods -- plus steamboats, ironclads, a seventeenth-century flagship, a certain famous PT boat, and even a dirigible -- to prove once again that truth can be "at least as fun as, and sometimes stranger than, fiction" (Men's Journal).

Clive Cussler and Craig Dirgo: The Sea Hunters II (2002)

From the Publisher:
For twenty-three years, Clive Cussler's NUMA® the National Underwater & Marine Agency-has scoured the rivers and seas in search of lost ships of historic significance. His teams have been inundated by tidal waves, and beset by the vagaries of man and nature, but the results-and the stories behind them-have often been dramatic: The 2000 raising of the Confederate submarine Hunley made national headlines.

Here, then, are more true tales of sea- and land-going adventures, as Cussler and his crews set out to track down history. The famous ghost ship Mary Celeste, found floating off the Azores in 1872 with no one on board; the Carpathia, the ship that rescued the Titanic survivors and was itself lost to U-boats six years later; L'Oiseau Blanc, the airplane that almost beat The Spirit of St. Louis across the Atlantic before disappearing in the Maine woods-all these, plus steamboats, ironclads, a seventeenth-century flagship, a certain famous PT boat, and even a dirigible, prove tantalizing targets as Cussler demonstrates again that truth can be "at least as fun, and sometimes stranger, than fiction" (Men's Journal).
