Since the 1960s, divers have been using scuba gear to search for the thousands of sunken ships at the bottom of the Great Lakes and recover artifacts from them. In this accessible narrative, journalist Volgenau (Detroit Free Press) recounts three decades of underwater adventure and discoveries by David Trotter and his team of wreck hunters. At the center of the story is team member Danny Fader, who made a remarkable recovery from a 1994 diving accident in which he nearly died. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
