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
