    Sam Warwick è un autore la cui passione per l'esplorazione dei relitti e un profondo interesse per la storia della Cunard Line convergono nei suoi scritti. Con una vasta esperienza come subacqueo e istruttore, Warwick si addentra nei misteri delle navi affondate, ricercandone meticolosamente le storie. Le sue opere svelano le avvincenti narrazioni di navi che un tempo solcavano gli oceani, con un'attenzione particolare all'iconica linea Cunard, riflettendo i suoi legami familiari personali con questa eredità marittima.

    QE2: The Cunard Line Flagship, Queen Elizabeth 2
    • The rich history of the P & O Line began in the 1830s when steam power was still in its infancy, and this, coupled with longer voyages, meant that shipwrecks became inevitable--all part of the risk of running a pioneer shipping company at that time. Shipwrecks of the P & O Line explores these losses, starting the the inaugural mail service sailing of the wooden paddle steamer Don Juan, which ran aground in fog in 1837, and ending 120 years later with the cargo liner Shillong (2), which sank following a collision in the Red Sea in 1957. Sam Warwick and Mike Roussel include a detailed history of each vessel leading up to the time of its loss and meticulously investigate the events surrounding the wrecking of each vessel, with exclusive accounts from diver who have explored the wreck along with striking underwater images. Complete with practical data for divers, this unique history offers a fres analysis of maritime history, of interest to maritime history enthusiasts as well and the many who have taken up diving as a leisure sport
