This fascinating book provides a unique history and record of the final underwater resting places of ships of the Cunard Line, whose rich history spans nearly two centuries. Charting the period from 1843-1974, authors Sam Warwick and Mike Roussel include a detailed history of each vessel leading up to the time of its loss, including Ascania, Alaunia, Aurania, Campania, Lusitania, Malta, Oregon, Scotia and Carpathia, famous for rescuing the survivors from the Titanic.
Events surrounding the wrecking of each vessel are thoroughly explored and unique accounts are incorporated from divers who have explored the wreck, along with never-before-published underwater images of the wrecks. Finishing off with practical data for interested divers, this unusual history offers a fresh analysis of maritime history.

Sam Warwick's grandfather was first master of QE2, and his father was a master of QE2 and first master of QM2. Sam has spent his life aboard Cunard vessels and developed a passion for the sea, which he has translated into wreck diving, logging more than 1,000 dives. Mike Roussel is a teacher and has written two books on Southampton's maritime history. John Chatterton is one of the world's best known wreck divers. He was a cohost of the History Channel's Deep Sea Detectives and is one of the subjects of the book Shadow Divers. He lives in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
