A shipwreck is a time capsule. When a maritime archaeologist picks up an item from the seabed, it is a direct connection with history. The last time the object was touched was sometimes centuries before; now, it’s starting a new life.
 
The millions of vessels that lie under the sea tell the human history of the world. Mensun Bound is the renowned marine archaeologist who was the Director of Exploration on the team that discovered Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance. With journalist Mark Frary, here Bound uses the many treasures he has discovered, from Nazi eagles to cannonballs, to write a maritime history of the world from 3000 BCE. Interwoven throughout with beautiful photographs, Wonders in the Deep is a riveting story of human ambition, defeat and ingenuity.

MENSUN BOUND is a world-famous underwater archaeologist and bestselling author of The Ship Beneath The Ice. He has directed some of the biggest shipwreck surveys, including the 6th century BC Giglio shipwreck, the oldest ever discovered at the time, and the raising of the Hoi An hoard.

MARK FRARY has published 12 books previously and has written for publications including The Times and the Sunday Times. He writes about a wide range of subjects including science, technology, travel and business.
