SHIP OF GOLD
in the
DEEP BLUE SEA
By Gary Kinder

"White knuckle reading.... adventure, intrigue, heroism, and high technology." --The Los Angeles Times Book Review

Full of adventure and intrigue on the high seas, Ship of Gold is the perfect book to bring to the beach this summer. The national bestseller is the true story of an 1857 historical shipwreck that left 400 men and 21 tons of gold on the floor of the Atlantic, and the modern day, high-tech quest to find the lost treasure. With its spellbinding blend of history and drama, greed and ingenuity, Ship of Gold is the book that will keep people talking all summer long.

"A 24-carat sea classic." --The New York Times Book Review

"Engaging, magnificently researched... a complex, bittersweet history of two centuries of American entrepreneurship, linked by the mad quest for gold." --Entertainment Weekly

"A tale dramatic enough to rival the Titanic disaster . . . a compelling . . . well plotted adventure story." --The Seattle Times
