Description
Cape Cod’s Anthology of Shipwrecks is the most extensive collection of stories featuring Cape Cod’s nautical past ever written. Exploring the fleet of sunken ships, that litter the ocean bottom off Cape Cod, Massachusetts: author and diver, Don Ferris, takes readers on a journey from one end of Cape Cod and the Islands to the other, as he explores over 75 diveable shipwrecks and describes their sinking, salvage and modern day state. A soft cover book at 754 pages, it features well over 100 photographs and is chock full of Cape Cod historical information and shipwreck lore. These well documented tales of Cape Cod tell the drama of men battling the raging ocean and powerful currents off the Cape’s shores, daring rescues and salvage attempts. It is also full of engaging stories of Mr. Ferris and his friends and their years spent underwater—tangling with everything from locating shipwrecks and artifacts, to fending off sharks. Here you will find the story of the Vanderbilt yacht, ALVA, the world’s most expensive yacht of her day. The steamer Horatio Hall, and her eclectic cargo, which sank off Chatham, MA. The freighter Port Hunter, full of clothing and munitions bound for the American troops in France. Her subsequent salvage and the loss of millions of dollars worth of goods, caused a senatorial scandal and investigation. The tragic loss of the City of Columbus who took over 100 souls to their graves, in clear sight of Martha’s Vineyard, plus many, many more stories.

I was out to Nantucket about 8 years ago with some sailing friends and when we went to the awesome life saving museum, I bought a copy. It traveled with me while sailing and working as Chief Steward onboard R/V ENDEAVOR at URI in Narragansett, RI.
Long story short, I lost track of it.
Deeply missing it, I’ve thought of it often and now I’m seizing the opportunity to finally get it back.
Thanks and please be sure to sign it if possible.
