100 Great Maritime Disasters

The history of navigation is also a chronicle of shipwrecks. According to modern oceanographers, there are at least one million vessels lying on the seabed of the seas and oceans today. Many ships perished on rocks and underwater reefs near the shore. Many found their graves at great depths in the vastness of the ocean. The circumstances and causes of most shipwrecks, especially in the 20th century, are well known and thoroughly studied. However, a significant number of ships disappeared without a trace, which always gave rise to numerous assumptions. What happened on the vessel? Who was at fault for the disaster - the crew, the elements, or pirates? Or maybe some otherworldly force intervened?
This book tells about the most famous disasters and accidents of ships in this series.
