Discover the fascinating science, history, engineering, and extraordinary challenges of raising sunken ships from the ocean floor. Raising the Dead: The Impossible Art of Salvaging Sunken Ships explores why ships sink, how immense water pressure, corrosion, sediment, structural damage, and extreme depths make shipwreck recovery so difficult, and how marine engineers use cranes, cables, lifting bags, pontoons, pumps, remotely operated vehicles, divers, and advanced salvage technology to recover underwater wrecks. From legendary shipwrecks and historic salvage operations to the Titanic and other vessels considered virtually impossible to raise, this engaging and knowledge-rich book reveals the physics of buoyancy, the dangers of unstable wrecks, the enormous costs of deep-sea recovery, hazardous cargo, maritime law, ownership disputes, and the ethical debate between salvaging and preserving underwater cultural heritage. Perfect for readers interested in shipwrecks, maritime history, ocean exploration, marine engineering, underwater archaeology, naval technology, and the mysteries hidden beneath the sea.
