75 Men A Shipwreck and Me

Seventy-Five Men A Shipwreck and Me is the true story of a daring race to recover a treasure trove of silver from a torpedoed wreck lying one-and-a-half miles beneath the Indian Ocean. The quest unites seventy-five seasoned seafarers each skilled in navigating the ocean's mysteries. However they face an unexpected challenge: adapting to Catherine an English woman aboard their converted drill ship. <br>Catherine Bailey's true story of a salvage expedition to the Indian Ocean is a vivid account of her own experience aboard a salvage vessel the only woman in a large crew of hard men hungry to locate a vast fortune of sunken treasure. Told with energy wit and unflappable composure Bailey's account of the voyage is by turns exhilarating comic and fraught with tension. A marvellous account of an extraordinary adventure. <br>- Patrick McGrath author of Asylum and Martha Peake.
