The book's title is A Shipwreck Guide to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos 1500-1990 Volume I (for wreck divers and treasure hunters)
The book is packed full of great information.
This is the only version of the book I have ever seen. Does anyone know if Tony ever wrote a Volume II or beyond?

shame
some great info in Vol One, would have been great to update / add to that!!
It's OK to be disappointed AFTER you dug it - as long as you never forget; that BEFORE you dug it, it had the POTENTIAL to be life changing!

Sounds like a good project for someone to become a Co-Author for Volume Two!

I don't know how Jaggers could have come up with enough additional material to warrant a Volume II. His date range 1500-1990 pretty much eliminates moving in either direction. I guess you could do a 1991-present, but that wouldn't really be feasible. Modern fishing boats, sail boats, etc. The geographical coverage is outstanding. Jagger even covered the Silver Banks area which is claimed by the Dominican Republic. Sure he missed a few wrecks, but overall I think he adequately covered the entire area and time period. Maybe he realized he did such a great job with volume I, there was no need to pursue a volume II?

$136.43 with shipping was the final price.
I am feeling much better about what I paid for mine from Alan Workman.

This book is a great template for compiling your own book on any particular area. The 3-ring binder approach allows you to re-order your material with ease as well as add notes, maps, photos, etc. After a few years, print up a few dozen/hundred then advertise and sell them.
I really like the format.

LuckyKevin:
Have you seen this one?
Galleons And Sunken Treasure By Claudio Bonifacio
Price: $33.78
"This is the first English translation of the original work "Galleons Con Tesoros" by Claudio Bonifacio. This landmark publication is the result of many years of research in Spanish Archives throughout the world dealing with the vessels of the Spanish Empire, where they wrecked and what they carried at the time of their destruction. It is an incredible collection of first-person narratives pulled directly from the records of the time. This is an astounding book that you won't be able to put down! Contains more than eleven hundred archive citations of wrecks, more than 70 illustrations including the fabled drawings of "Treasure Island”, and actual translated extracts from original documents dealing with the Maravillas, the San Jose, and the Mercedes of recent fame, to name just a few. A great reference work for academics and laymen alike!"
~ From the Lulu catalog.
Good luck to all,
~The Old Bookaroo
PS: I'm glad I didn't wait to offer my copy of eBay before he posted his 2nd...
