The Shipwreck Research Handbook by Gary Gentile- opinions?

[ropesfish]

Hi folks,
Has anyone read this book? I am a firm believer that if I learn one thing from a book then I got my money's worth, but I'd like to hear some reviews if anyone has read this.
Thanks in advance...https://www.amazon.com/dp/1883056314/?tag=treasurenet01-20

One of his books called Shipwrecks Of New Jersey is very good, includes histories of the wrecks, GPS coordinates, dive conditions, what to expect to find. Two of the wrecks I used to dive 30 years ago have a chapter in the book.

Gentile was (and personally I hope he still is) a very successful wreck diver, author, and book publisher. I think most of the vessels in his book were 1930's forward with many lost during WW II. That's a very different type of research than, say, Spanish galleons in Florida waters.

Good luck to all,

Great book. Anything by Gary is worth picking up.
