Traces the lives of fabled pirates such as Chevalier de Grammont, Nikolaas Van Hoorn, Thomas Paine, etc. From the Dust Jacket: "An extraordinary and dramatic tale of shipwrecks, underwater discovery, and the dawn of the golden age of piracy. On January 2, 1678, a fleet of French ships sank in the Caribbean Sea, one hundred miles off the Venezuelan coast on the killer reef of Las Aves Island. These wrecks, which claimed more than 1,200 lives, proved disastrous for French naval power in the region and sparked the rise of a 'golden age of piracy,' an era that was to forever to alter the shape of the Americas... Clifford interweaves the dramatic tale of this maritime catastrophe -- and the dangerous upsurge of piracy in the world's seas -- with the contemporary account of his own expedition to document and explore the wrecks... Beautifully told, epic in scope, and steeped in period detail, THE LOST FLEET is a mesmerizing account of historical discovery and underwater reclamation for anyone with the heart for adventure, history, myth, and treasure hunting."

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
