Description
The Solent has long been one of Britain's busiest shipping areas, with centuries of maritime history and tragedy. From the Royal Navy's presence in Portsmouth to the ocean liners sailing from Southampton, this stretch of water has witnessed its share of disasters, including the unexpected sinking of the Mary Rose in 1545. The Solent has also seen more recent tragedies, such as the mystery of the Flag Theofano, which vanished from her anchorage in 1990, and the fight to save the disabled car carrier Höegh Osaka in 2016. These stories are revealed in Shipwrecks of the Solent, a book that explores the history and drama of this part of the south coast of England. Illustrated throughout, this book will appeal to anyone interested in shipping, shipwrecks, or the history of the region.
