"Barnette digs deep into the tantalizing undersea mysteries of
Florida shipwrecks. He is a researcher and teller of sea disasters
second to none. The imagery he casts of these lost ships will
completely absorb the reader on what lies beneath." - Clive Cussler
Over the past 440 years, weather, war, and chance have claimed
several thousand vessels off of Florida's shores. Many of these
wrecks are visited by divers on a regular basis. Many more, await
discovery by the dedicated, and properly equipped searcher.
In an attempt to relate but a handful of the losses that have
occurred, Shipwrecks of the Sunshine State chronicles the tales of
over 150 of Florida's maritime casualties.

Underwater Explorers, a coalition of divers dedicated to the
research, exploration, documentation, and preservation of submerged
