This is extremely my jam. Recently I have been reading the books by John Chatterton. If you have even a passing interest in underwater wrecks read his books. He is the fellow that discovered the German submarine off the coast of New Jersey. https://www.amazon.com/Pirate-Hunte...john+chatterton - His book about finding a pirate ship. https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Divers-Adventure-Americans-Everything/dp/0375760989/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=6G78QE4ESG9QSZ5FPAA4 - His book about the German Sub He works alot with Richie Kohler who dove the Andrea Doria and the Britannica. I can do a big old effort post if needed. I have been reading about shipwrecks since I was a kid. Here we go: A great longform article on the "righting" of the Costa Concordia recently. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2014/12/nick-sloane-costa-concordia-salvage Fantastic longform article on the Cougar Ace and the team that saved it. http://www.wired.com/2008/02/ff-seacowboys/ A really fascinating look at the Andrea Doria and how difficult and deadly it is to dive on the wreck. https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Descent...ds=andrea+doria Speaking of the Andrea Doria a recent expedition used a new type of sonar to scan the wreck. They found that it was deteriorating so bad that the bow is breaking in half. https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2016/06/13/1956-shipwreck-andrea-doria-more-deteriorated-than-expected.html Ok I promise last one (I told you this was my jam) here is another long form article on the shipwrecks of the Great Lakes and the treasures they hold. https://www.buzzfeed.com/katieheaney/sea-hunt-finding-sunken-treasure-with-the-great-lakes-legend?utm_term=.cyXW6NzXj#.nnvYMXGvy Flaggy fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Jun 14, 2016 |

Here is another great article about the recent scan of the Andrea Doria. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/06/shipwreck-astronaut-submersible-andrea-dorea-space-sea-exploration-submersible-spacewalk/ They are hoping to better understand the effects of the ocean on shipwrecks and how it affects marine life.

Some WW2 shipwrecks have gone missing. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37997640 "The Guardian says it has seen 3D images, showing large holes in the seabed where HMS Exeter, HMS Encounter, the destroyer HMS Electra, as well as a US submarine, used to be." This should be a pretty interesting story. And mystery solved: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/16/dutch-probe-mystery-of-wartime-shipwrecks-that-appear-to-have-go/ Flaggy fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Nov 17, 2016 |

Josef K. Sourdust posted:Came to post a link here to the story of Donald Crowhurst. If you don't know it, you should. An amateur sailor decides to take part in an internationally covered round-the-world race. He wants to back out but faces financial ruin if he does. Unable to face the stormy Antarctic seas he decides to dupe people by sending fake positional readings while he circles in the South Atlantic. Then things get out of hand.... I believe there is a documentary called Dark Water that is based on him, and a new one being filmed/produced this year.

If you find some let me know, usually I just search for John Chatterton, or anything else shipwreck related. Usually I can find an old doc or podcast someone has thrown up.

The subject is more engaging than the presentation. Any YouTubers with specialisation in marine subjects?

http://infomory.com/famous/famous-deep-sea-divers/ Just popped up in my news feed. Nothing too deep, but a good jump off point for some of their adventures. Especially John Chatterton, great author.
