A Young Person’s Field Guide to Finding Lost Shipwrecks is an exciting blend of scientific research, waters exploration, and treasure searching. The author provides an insightful autobiographical account of a marine archeological expedition that features the daily operations aboard a 37-meter research vessel, the Hercules. The story also attempts at explaining the science involved in a multibeam sonar and the kind of technology used in the marine expedition. The journey starts at a dock in Cadiz, Spain where three archeologists, one engineer, three captains, two college students on a summer internship, one cook, one seaman, the author, and two scuba divers board the vessel, Hercules, to look for Santisima. A fantastic tale of hunting hidden treasure and exploring the waters beyond! Order your copy of the book now. Laurie Anne Zaleski is a marine geologist who conducts geophysical surveys.
