Description:

There have been over 1400 recorded shipwrecks along the ninety mile coast of South Devon. An early naval account dates back to 1691 when the 78-gun warship 'Coronation' capsized off Rame Head in a fierce storm and 480 men were drowned. But shipwrecks are not just a thing of the past. During gales in late December 1992, the 9705-ton Panamanian 'Demetrios' put ashore near Prawle Point and within hours broke her back.\nTo photograph such dramatic events in often turbulent conditions takes immense courage. This book pays tribute not only to the bravery of all seafarers, but also to the skill and boldness of those who risked their lives to capture these calamitious moments of maritime history.
