Beskrivelse
The small, ungainly iron ship may have saved the Union. Then, in a vicious winter storm, it plunged into the depths of The Atlantic, seemingly lost forever. But 140 years later, after a 50-year search-and-recovery mission, its ponderous iron turret reemerged, dripping, from a rusting grave, returning priceless bits of history. In Ironclad, Paul Clancy weaves three great sea adventures into a single mesmerizing tale of the life, death and recovery of a ship that changed history. Naval heroism, the cold heart of battle, a killing storm, deep-water salvage, flesh-and-blood history--Ironclad has it all.
"Paul Clancy's masterful investigation into the recovery of the Monitor is at once a thrilling re-creation of an epic moment in naval history and a tense account of a dangerous, high-tech marine salvage Operation. Big characters drive both narratives, making for a satisfying story of men--and women--on the high seas." --Peter Nichols, author, A
Voyage for Madmen and Evolution"s Captain.
