Adventures of a Sea Hunter

In Search of Famous Shipwrecks

by James P. Delgado

tagged: archaeology
Description

Archaeologist, historian, museum director, educator, curator, explorer, occasional journalist, television host and consummate storyteller James Delgado has spent much of his life in pursuit of the past...and a good tale. His passion for the past is more than academic. He lives to touch the past, to go where few have gone before. As a Sea Hunter and host, along with novelist Clive Cussler of the National Geographic International television series, Delgado searches for, discovers and explores some of the greatest shipwrecks of all time. Melding history with archaeology to bring life to his discoveries, Delgado has created a highly entertaining, personal account of the exploration of the sea and the past that rests beneath the waves.
