What it is

A large-format hardcover survey of three and a half centuries of wrecks on the New Jersey coast — the 'Graveyard of the Atlantic' — from 18th-century sailing ships through steam and oil, with 142 historic photographs and illustrations plus a listing of hundreds of wrecks along the Jersey Shore.

Why it matters

It is the standard popular record of the wrecks closest to DTR's Sea Isle City home waters — the context that sits behind any Jersey Shore artifact.

Who it's for

Anyone interested in East Coast wreck history, particularly the New Jersey shore.
