Awesome read
This is a fascinating story both of the sinking of the ship and the finding of the ship. An incredible tale of human endurance and perseverance. Cannot wait to see who they cast in the movie.

I read the book in hebrew, it was translated by: Li Evron.
I couldn't leave the book antil i riched the end.

At first, I thought that it would be dry technical stuff, but as I read the 507 pages in two sittings, I found myself wanting more information. I consider this an unparalled work of biography, history and technology wrapped around a compelling story of discovery.

My husband read this book first and just raved about this incrediable journey. He gave it to our sons and they loved it too.
I decided to review this story for my book club and out of 13 women only one told me she did'nt like it!
I found myself getting up at night just so I could finish a chapter! I didn't want to put it down.
To think one young man could have so much insight and courage to fight the the weather, not to mention all the gold diggers is just so exciting.
I recommend this book to every one who loves adventure!

Great Book about beating the odds and simple tragic life moments to California Miners aboard a doomed ship. Once you start you cannot put the book down!!!!
Dick

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Nothing like true stories to capture the imagination. Congratulations to everyone involved, from the writer to the adventurers and from the publisher to the courts who ruled that "finders are keepers!"
Ken

This book demonstrates the best of human inventiveness, persistence, and vision! I loved it! The author lets us get to know the Central America and its passengers and crew, then they focus on the recovery, with all of the amazing hurdles encountered. One of the best books I've read! If you like "Perfect Storm," you will love this one.

While reading, thought it must be fiction because it was so farfetched - but felt like it must be something that really happened. Did a search on internet and sure enough - it is a true story. INCREDIBLE STORY.
