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.
This magnificent book is the largest ever created on the subject, 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.

För segelfartyg var vattnen utanför sydvästra England bland de farligaste i världen – tidvattenströmmar, undervattensklippor, stormar och mörker. Tusentals fartyg har gått under här. På de extremt utsatta Scilly-öarna har familjen Gibson i fem generationer dokumenterat dessa skeppsbrott med sina kameror. Resultatet är helt unika bilder som är ödesmättade dokument över en tid då sjöfart ibland var en fråga om liv och död.
Denna storslagna bok är den största i sitt slag som någonsin har gjorts – över 100 enastående bilder presenteras på ett helt nytt sätt. Boken är skriven av historikern och dykaren Carl Douglas tillsammans med marinarkeologen Björn Hagberg. Deras texter skildrar tillsammans med bilderna människans kamp mot elementen.
