The Deadly Shipwrecks of the Powhattan and New Era on the Jersey Shore by Captain Robert F. Bennett, Susan Leigh Bennett, and Commander Timothy R. Dring

I was given this book by a high school friend who is related to the author. I love history and disasters so this book was right up my alley. It was well researched and written, as well as filled with information. As a non mariner some of the language was a bit over my head but I could follow it in context. I could almost put myself on the storm swept beaches with the rescuers, perhaps growing up on the Jersey Shore had something to do with that. Anyone who likes maritime history or history of the Jersey Shore should put this one on their list.
