Synopsis
Seventy-Five Men, A Shipwreck and Me is the true story of a daring race to recover a treasure trove of silver from a torpedoed wreck lying one-and-a-half miles beneath the Indian Ocean. The quest unites seventy-five seasoned seafarers, each skilled in navigating the ocean's mysteries. However, they face an unexpected challenge: adapting to Catherine, an English woman aboard their converted drill ship. "Catherine Bailey's true story of a salvage expedition to the Indian Ocean is a vivid account of her own experience aboard a salvage vessel, the only woman in a large crew of hard men hungry to locate a vast fortune of sunken treasure. Told with energy, wit and unflappable composure, Bailey's account of the voyage is by turns exhilarating, comic and fraught with tension. A marvellous account of an extraordinary adventure." - Patrick McGrath, author of Asylum and Martha Peake.
