Description
Captain Mike Hatcher's life story is one of adventure and discovery. From his early days as a Barnardo's boy to becoming a millionaire through the sale of sunken treasures, this true account recounts his countless expeditions beneath the seven seas. Hatcher's exploits include the recovery of valuable artefacts from exotic locations such as Indonesia and Thailand, with the Nanking Cargo being perhaps his most notable find - sold for over GBP 10 million after being discovered on a sunken Dutch East Indiaman in the South China Seas. This book tells the story of this adventure and others, offering a glimpse into the life of a modern-day treasure hunter. With its unique blend of history, travel and adventure, Treasures of the Deep is an intriguing read for anyone interested in the world of exploration and discovery.
