Alaska Shipwrecks
ALASKA SHIPWRECKS is an accounting of all known shipwrecks and maritime losses in and near Alaska in the past 250 years. Most of the information that is presented in detail has never before been available to the general public. The book contains 3,624 vessel losses in both alphabetical and chronological order. ALASKA SHIPWRECKS has three sections, an alphabetical A-Z section, a chronological section detailing wrecks from 1750-2011 and a list of lives lost from 1972-2009. The A to Z section has the most detail, with stories, dates, locations, people involved, vessel details, comments and sources. The second section lists the disasters in the order that they happened, from 1750 to 2011. This section is broken into seven tables; Before 1800, 1800-1899, 1900-1925, 1926-1950, 1951-1975, 1976-2000 and 2000-2011. Each table contains the year, vessel name, size and type vessel, general area, number of people lost and number of survivors. The third section is a chronological list of people lost in maritime accidents from 1972 to 2009. It includes the names of most of the fishermen lost in the boom years of the crab industry.
