    Shipwrecks of the California Coast: Wood to Iron, Sail to Steam

    Shipwrecks of the California Coast: Wood to Iron, Sail to Steam (Disaster) by Michael D. White
    English | May 6, 2014 | ISBN: 1609499247 | EPUB | 176 pages | 5.3 MB

    More than two thousand ships have been lost along California's 840 miles of coastline–Spanish galleons, passenger liners, freighters, schooners. Some tragedies are marking points in U.S. maritime history. The "City of Rio de Janeiro," bound from Hong Kong to San Francisco in 1901, sliced the fog only to strike a rock and sink in twenty minutes, sending 128 passengers to watery graves. Seven U.S. Navy destroyers, bound on a fateful 1923 night from San Francisco to San Diego, crashed into the rocks at Honda Point on the treacherous Santa Barbara County coast, killing 23 sailors in one of the military's worst peacetime losses. Join author Michael D. White as he navigates the shoals of shipping mishaps with both salvage stories and elegies to the departed.
