Review : Davy Jones's locker

The brass doesn’t gleam any longer at the bottom of the sea and the ship’s
siren is silent. But before the jumbo jet, people travelled by liners. Some of
them sank. And Bob Ballard has investigated most of the wrecks, from the Titanic
to the Lusitania. Lost Liners is a handsomely illustrated homage to the past.
