Featuring contemporary underwater photographs by Jonathan Blair and Brian Skerry. In the summer of 2000, the fates of two very different submarines made headlines around the world. On August 8th, the Confederate sub H.L. Hunley sunk 136 years ago during the American Civil War, was raised at Charleston, South Carolina. Four days later, the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk exploded and plunged to the floor of the Barents Sea. Between the stories of these two lost submarines lies most of the history of men and warfare under the sea. In gripping text and powerful images. Lost Subs chronicles the evolution of the submarine, from Robert Fulton's early experiments to the famous German U-boats of both world wars, from Imperial Japan's I-52 to the Cold war nuclear subs Thresher and Scorpion. Thanks to revolutionary new technology, divers and deep-sea submersibles are giving scientists unprecedented access to these lost subs, and shedding new light on both their creation and their destruction. With state of the art underwater photography, this definitive illustrated history vividly brings to life an amazing underwater museum. Fascinating cutaway diagrams and a wealth of archival photographs and paintings re-create these vessels in their prime and help answer many of the questions that have surrounded their sinkings. Here is a saga as current as today's headlines filled with mystery, drama and daring.
