Wells, Tony SHIPWRECKS & SUNKEN TREASURE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
Singapore Times Editions 1995 Paperback As New with no dust jacket
15 x 23 cm..; pg. ix, 159; Foreword, author's note, bibliography, ship index, maps and color illustrations. "Southeast Asia has been the hub of a prosperous maritime trade for many centuries. Just about every type of exotic merchandise was traded here--porcelain, gold, silver and the precious spices for which the region was renowned. It attracted ships from as far away as Arabia, India, Europe and the Americas, and though many sailed safely back to home port, others were doomed to sink to a watery grave with great loss of life and cargo. SHIPWRECKS & SUNKEN TREASURE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA weaves a fascinating story of the rich trading history of the Spice Route and of the thousands of ships that came here in search of riches. It explores some of the reasons why the ships sank and provides an eye-opening account of the fabulous treasures that still lie undisturbed beneath the waters of Southeast Asia. "; 9812045430
