Covering the period from 1740 to 1917, the author, an experienced diver, catalogues the histories of the ships that have been stranded and wrecked along the north-east coast of England, from Whitby to Berwick-on-Tweed. He discusses the bravery of the lifeboat crews that have risked their lives to rescue the survivors, and assesses the potential of the wrecks as dive-sites.

The Senior Service has, for a hundred years, had submarines. Originally thought to be Un-English, submarines helped us win two World Wars and have played a great part in Britain's nuclear deterrent for the past thirty years. Originally some of the small subs had crews of less than ten men, unlike today's nuclear behemoths with crews of almost one hundred. Submariners are a breed apart; ask any submariner and they'll tell you they think and act differently from the regular navy. Submariners is the story of the submarine service in the words of the men involved.

This highly illustrated book is the second in a two-volume work that records all known Luftwaffe losses over NE England during WWII. The first volume, Broken Eagles - Luftwaffe Losses over Yorkshire, was published by Leo Cooper/Pen & Sword in 2001. At least 64 German aircraft crashed in Northumberland and Durham, or off their respective coastlines, during WWII and 256 German aircrew became casualties of war.
