Pirate Hunters

[s.c.shooter]

I'm nearly through with this book about the Pirate Bannister and the hunt for his ship The Golden Fleece. It's a great read. I wasn't aware that any other Pirate ships had been found other than the Whydah and Blackbeards.

Great book. When I finished it, I went and got a copy of Kurson's other book "Shadow Divers" and that one is even better.

I LOVED shadow divers, and it was the reason I bought Pirate Hunters from him. I still haven't had time to read it yet though.

Shadow Divers got me all fired up to make a trip to Morehead City NC to dive the U-352.

I am so jealous of you right now. Thats one of my bucket list dives. I have a B E A UTIFUL pics of the 352 on the bottom. In fact I bought two of them and gave the other one to my dive shop.

Sorry, my post was unclear. I haven't made the trip yet, planning on doing the dive next summer.

LOL, well, I'm still jealous. I hope you dive it on a day the water is calm and clear!

Yeah, me too. From what I understand the wreck sits in 115 feet fairly close to the gulfstream, so its not too cold. I'm a Florida boy with only a shorty wetsuit.

You've probably seen this pic before, but I have the poster of it. It's like 1x3 foot. Such an amazing photo.

Talk to Lubos Kordac on Golden Fleece. Check out his new book on Roberto Cofresi

I just finished Kurson's Pirate Hunters.
Great story.
I particularly found the description of how John Mattera approached the research & analysis process thought provoking.
I give it an 8.4 on the 10 pointRopesfish Reading Scale.
