Marx, Robert F. (Signed) SHIPWRECKS OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. The World Publishing Company. 1971. 8vo, 482 pages; Hardcover w/ DJ; Signed by the author; This is a complete guide to every major shipwreck in the Western Hemisphere and an introduction to the delights of underwater archaeology, diving for treasure, and exploring the world below the sea. In this book Robert F. Marx tells you information you need to know about the locations where ships have been lost to how to best bring ship contents to the surface. “Here are discussions of the process of salvage: the mapping of an area; the methods of pinpointing the wreck; the determination of age, nationality and nature of the vessels; the archaeological worth of the contents; the ways to preserve and restore the relics gathered; and the restrictions placed on the salvors by the jurisdictions in whose waters the ships are found.” His list of ships lost in different waters is extremely valuable.
