Description

The Gibson Family's Shipwreck Archive is a remarkable collection of photographs documenting the treacherous waters off Britain's south-western coast. Over four generations, the family captured the stories of thousands of ships lost in these unforgiving seas. This book brings together almost 100 exceptional images, presented alongside text by Carl Douglas and Björn Hagberg, to convey the human struggle against the elements and the extraordinary efforts to save lives. The photographs, reproduced with great beauty, evoke the dangers and challenges of seafaring in a bygone era. The book is published in co-operation with the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, which holds the unique Gibson collection. A unique and fascinating archive, this book offers a glimpse into a remarkable piece of maritime history.
