*Swallowed by the Sea* recounts the gripping stories of fifteen shipwrecks in Australian waters, spanning from the earliest known casualty to more recent tragedies. Author Graeme Henderson explores the circumstances surrounding each disaster, detailing how raging storms, treacherous reefs, human error, and even treachery led to their demise.
The book goes beyond the events of the wreck itself, using the author's experiences as a maritime archaeologist to transport you to the depths, whether swimming along the remains of HMS Pandora, or raising artefacts from the Batavia. From Dutch trading vessels to emigrant ships and warships, *Swallowed by the Sea* reveals the fate of these vessels and what remnants remain today, painting a vivid picture of Australia's maritime history and the human stories intertwined within.
