The wrecks have become like time capsules, a spooky mixture of serene beauty and haunting reminders of a brutal drama.</p><p></p><p>These amazing images of the ghost ships of the Baltic have attracted global attention and appear in this book reproduced really large for the first time.</p>

<p>In the days of sailing ships, the waters off Britain's south-western coast could be some of the most treacherous in the world with tidal currents, submerged rocks, storms and murky depths. Thousands of ships were lost there over the centuries. From the remote Isles of Scilly, four generations of the Gibson family documented these shipwrecks in photographs, creating a unique archive of an era when seafaring could mean risking one's life.</p><p></p><p>This magnificent book is the largest ever created on the subject, the format is 48 x 35 centimeters and the weight is almost five kilos. Printed in a limited edition of 1000 with over 100 exceptional images presented as never before alongside text by historian and diver Carl Douglas and marine archaeologist Björn Hagberg. The result is a work that conveys mankind's struggle against the elements.</p>
