Sandler enlivens the historical narrative by fleshing out biographical details, sharing (and occasionally debunking) myths and legends, providing an overview of the era's social and economic factors, and spotlighting contemporary excavation of the shipwreck site. Useful photographs, maps, and sidebars are interspersed. Bib., ind.
