Atlas Of Shipwrecks & Treasure
Source: Amazon
Author: Nigel Pickford
- From an Amazon reader: "A great coffee table book I've owned for a few years, this book is full of interesting facts that are put together in an interesting way. Not a hard-core history book by any means. Not really in-depth, either. Pretty pictures make it good for all ages of reading." (1994)

Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea
Source: Amazon
Author: Gary Kinder
- From an Amazon reader: "One of the best nonfiction books I have ever read .... The book flips back and forth between a historical account of the SS Central America's final journey, and modern day efforts to recover the lost ship. Gary Kinder's extensive research and subsequent account of the SS Central America reads like a high-suspense thriller." (1999)

Shipwrecks in the Americas
Source: Amazon
Author: Robert F. Marx
- From an Amazon reader: "This is not a book for the casual reader -- the text on underwater archaeology can be somewhat dense and technical, and the listings of shipwrecks are encyclopedic, not narrative. However, if you are a wreck diver, shipwreck enthusiast or archaeologist, this is a useful reference volume." (1994)
