THE GHOST SHIPS

Do they really exist?

Monster waves that arise from nowhere big enough to sweep away oil platforms; freighters that are pulled down into the depths from one minute to the next; ghost ships, giant octopuses and sea snakes: Are these all just seafaring yarns? Modern scientific methods, the author explains, have opened up new fields of knowledge, with sensors, satellites and deep-sea submarines helping to understand the chilling reality behind many famous stories about the sea. Olaf Fristche’s thrilling book reveals the startling results of recent scientific research into the secret life beneath Earth’s oceans.
