Shipwrecks of North Carolina from Hatteras Inlet South
Gary Gentile
This book covers the most
well-known wrecks sunk off the coast of North Carolina from Hatteras Inlet south
to the South Carolina border. For each of the wrecks covered, a
statistical sidebar provides basic information such as the dates of construction
and loss, previous names (if any), tonnage and dimensions, builder and owner (at
time of loss), port of registry, type of vessel and how propelled, cause of
sinking, location (loran coordinates if known), and depth. In most cases, an
historical photograph or illustration of the ship leads the text. Throughout the
book is scattered a selection of color underwater photographs, some of the
wrecks, more often of typical marine life found in the area.
The book is full of fascinating narratives of triumph and tragedy, of heroism
and disgrace, of human nature at its best and its basest. Also included
are descriptions of the wrecks as they appear on the bottom. At the end of
each volume is a bibliography of suggested reading, and a list of more than 400
loran numbers of wrecks in and adjacent to the area covered.

DIVE THE WARM CLEAR WATERS OF NORTH CAROLINA
Unfortunately there are still divers out there that don't know that statement to be true. The quality of North Carolina Wreck Diving has been expressed in such statements as: North Carolina and Truk Lagoon are to wreck diving what Vale, Colorado and Switzerland are to skiing. Now we are able to visually demonstrate how great the diving and local tourist attractions are with our new Video. The Video contains a brief history as well as underwater footage of some of our more popular dive sites, the U-352 German Submarine, and the USS Tarpon a Shark Class Submarine are just two of the sites featured in the Video. The Video also features examples of the excellent visibility (averaging 80 ft. Offshore) and some of the more popular Tropical Fish found on the wrecks. The Video also discusses some of the local history and tourist attractions available, for those looking for something other than Diving. We would like to invite you to dive the Graveyard of the Atlantic, where tropical marine life abounds amid the beauty and mystery of these vessels from the past.
Price: Volume I $5.30 - Volume II $8.50 - Both $10.55
