Jacques Marc has spent 25 years diving on and documenting historic shipwrecks around the province of British Columbia. His interest in ship china began in the mid 1980s when he found a Canadian Pacific Steamship cup while diving under an abandoned dock site. To prepare for writing this book, he visited several maritime museums and private collectors to document their holdings.
