Shipwreck Diving in North Carolina" Calabash to Southport

A new book is out by local authors Fred R. David and Vern J. Bender. It is a 66-page paperback and can be bought for $14.95.

Just looking at the highlights, I find it interesting and may have to add it to my collection.

** Stories on the last voyages of ships that sank off Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, Oak Island and Bald Head Island.

** Pictures of the ships including the Sherman, Hebe, Raritan, Governor and City of Houston.

** GPS of many of them.

** Color photos of wrecks and descriptions of marine life.

** Locations of local shark tooth beds.
