Dangerous Waters
By: Burnett, John S.
Published by: Plume
While sailing alone one night in the shipping lanes across one of the busiest waterways in the world, John Burnett was attacked by pirates. Through sheer ingenuity and a little bit of luck, he survived, and his shocking firsthand experience became the inspiration for Dangerous Waters . Today's breed of pirates are not the colorful cutthroats painted by the history books. Unlike the romantic images from yesteryear of Captain Hook, Long John Silver, and Blackbeard, modern pirates can be local seamen looking for a quick score, highly trained guerrillas, rogue military units, or former seafarers recruited by sophisticated crime organizations. Including new, up-to-date information for the paperback edition, Dangerous Waters is both a dauntless investigation and an epic, breathtaking modern tale of the sea.

Desperate Hours: The Epic Rescue of the Andrea Doria
By: Goldstein, Richard
Published by: John Wiley & Sons, Inc
On a summer's night in 1956, in a fog off Nantucket, the world-renowned ocean liner Andrea Doria collided with another ship, the Stockholm. Eleven hours later it sank, but in that brief time the Doria became, after the Titanic, the most storied vessel of the century, as 1,700 people were saved in an unforgettable rescue punctuated by countless acts of heroism amid confusion, terror, even cowardice.
Drawing on dozens of interviews that relate stories never before told, utilizing court documents, memoirs and reports by psychiatrists who examine survivors, and presenting technical findings shedding light on who was to blame for this disaster at sea, Richard Goldstein presents the definitive history of a fateful day, a legendary liner, and a deadly shipwreck now considered the Mount Everest of scuba diving.
