An awe-inspiring deep-dive into the treasures found on the sea floor and what they reveal about our past.

A shipwreck is a time capsule. When a maritime archaeologist picks up an item from the seabed, there is a direct connection with history. The last time the object was touched could have been centuries before; now, it’s starting a new life.

The millions of vessels that lie under the sea tell the human history of the world. Mensun Bound is the renowned marine archaeologist who was the Director of Exploration on the team that discovered Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance. With journalist Mark Frary, Bound uses the many treasures he has discovered, from Nazi eagles to cannonballs, to write a maritime history of the world from 3000 BC. Interwoven throughout with beautiful photographs, Wonders in the Deep is a riveting story of human ambition, defeat and ingenuity.
