British history is irrevocably tied to the sea. The progress & very survival of this island nation has depended in large part upon the development of its naval fleet & on maritime engineering & overseas trade. For centuries Britannia did indeed rule the waves & at one time a huge percentage of all ships made in the world were constructed in Britain. While those days are now largely over, a tantalising sunken treasury of Britain's glorious naval past lies waiting to be explored at the bottom of the sea in the countless wrecks that lie around Britain's shores. Dive England's Greatest Wrecks is the perfect companion for any diver interested in exploring England's most exciting shipwrecks, preserved as time capsules of an era of sea power & majesty that has now passed into the history books. Among the ten featured here are the Salsette off Weymouth, arguably England's most famous shipwreck; the SS Kyarra off Dorset; the British submarine M2 & the pre-dreadnought battleship HMS Hood, both lying off Portland; the American Liberty ship James Eagan Layne off Plymouth; & the fabulous P&O liner Moldavia. Along with the history of each vessel & the dramatic account of how it was wrecked, there is essential diver information detailing how the wreck lies today, along with depths, tides & other points of interest. Each of the wrecks is vividly brought to life by specially commissioned stunning paintings showing the vessels as they lie on the seabed today. ...

Recounted with his usual level of meticulous historical research, Rod weaves an easily readable account of the build-up to & implementation of Operation Desecrate 1
- the raid undertaken to destroy Japanese ships & aircraft in the lagoons of Palau. He uses his intimate knowledge of shipwrecks to reveal in glorious detail each of the 20 major Japanese WWII shipwrecks lying at the bottom of the Palauan lagoons today. On 30th March, 1944 Grumman F6F Hellcat fighters made an Initial fighter sweep of the lagoon to destroy Japanese air cover. Simultaneously Grumman Avenger torpedo-bombers dropped their mines in the channels around the lagoon to block Japanese ships attempting to escape the following onslaught. With the Japanese naval fortress quickly becoming a prison & with Japanese air cover quickly destroyed, successive group strikes of torpedo bombers & dive-bombers swept over the lagoon, sinking the shipping & destroying the airfields. Palau was neutralised as a Japanese naval & air base in a repeat of the same Task Force 58 raid, Operation Hailstone, on Truk Lagoon 1, 000 miles to the east just six weeks earlier. Today, 20 major Japanese WWII shipwrecks lie in the beautiful clear waters of the tropical paradise of Palau surrounded by reefs & coral wall drop-offs.A number of long-lost wrecks have recently been relocated including a Japanese freighter filled with depth charges & Army helmets. This was found in 1989 but remained unidentified until now
- after painstaking research Rod reveals her identify for the first time in the book. Each wreck is covered in detail & is supported by underwater photography & by fabulous illustrations by renowned artist Rob Ward. The shipwrecks of Palau are now revealed.
