Richard Larn here covers 250 years of shipwrecks in the area, up to the loss of the super-tanker Torrey Canyon, with its disastrous pollution consequences in 1967. Among the losses were liners, coasters, small and large sailing craft, warships tankers freighters and fishing craft.; The author's research goes far back into history, recording the ancient nauticai past of the area, before concentrarting on losses in more recent centuries. Larn has dived on many of the wrecks noted in his book and includes some of his underwater experiences. His double column,13 page listing of ships involved in "incidents" in the Scilly's area goes back to the early 1700s.
