Beneath the Waters: Guide to Civil War Shipwrecks Book

This unique work is a user-friendly comprehensive guide and index to the locations of not only Union and Confederate naval vessels, but also to the officially noted blockade runners sunk during the Civil War. Alphabetically organized by the vessel's name, each entry, when listed, specifies the date lost, the approximate location, the source in the Official Records, number of artillery pieces on board, their size of shot and even a synopsis from the battle report in the official records.

James Hemphill has saved researchers and underwater sightseers hundreds of hours by compiling this guide, which he culled from more than 28,000 pages of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion.
