A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Keith Jessop is the most successful treasure hunter and salvage diver in history, a man who has made - and lost - millions rescuing treasures from the deep. The son of a penniless Yorkshire mill-girl, he left school without a single qualification and started salvaging scrap metal from shallow water wrecks off the coast of Scotland using the inner tube of a tractor tyre covered in wire mesh as a vessel. GOLDFINDER is the story of Keith's progress from aquatic Steptoe and Son to salvaging the richest prize of all - over five tons of Russian gold - from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean.
