Treasure Hunter

Diving for Gold on North America's Death Coast

Description

For more than four decades, world-renowned diver and treasure hunter Captain Robert MacKinnon has reclaimed sunken caches from the dangerous shallow waters along the Atlantic coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Known as the Death Coast for its treacherous reefs and violent currents, the area's rocky bottom is layered with shipwrecks and untold riches. In short-a treasure hunter's paradise. In Treasure Hunter, Robert MacKinnon recounts the risks and challenges-both nautical and legal-in exploring shipwrecks dating back to the War of 1812 and before the Revolutionary War. As he salvages the secrets of the sea, MacKinnon vividly captures the excitement of discovery and conveys his passion for preservation in the still-developing field of underwater archeology. A compelling chronicle of modern-day adventure, Treasure Hunter is a fascinating voyage into an amazing undersea world.
