Book Reviews of Ghost Ships: Tales of Abandoned, Doomed, and Haunted Vessels

Book Review: excellant read
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellant survey of the the whole topic. Unlike most such books there are maps showing at least the intended cruises of missing ships which makes clear that what ever happened to the "Waratah" and the "Joyita" must have happened shortly after they sailed.

One mistake though. The british battleship that blew up, happened in the Medway not the Mersey.

My only criticism is the printing words. These should really have been in the usual black ink rather than sepia.
