Remains of a rare Elizabethan-era ship found in quarry

Legends Beneath the Waves – Scandinavia

In a comprehensive new work spanning two volumes, René B. Andersen and Andrew Marriott review a large number of exciting wrecks worth seeing and describe the dramatic events that led to their sinking.

We had a chat with René B. Andersen about the books.
