The treasure-laden Brother Jonathan slams into a submerged rock and sinks in 1865 to become California’s worst maritime disaster. The airship USS Macon was one of the largest flying objects ever built, only to crash into deep water off Monterey in 1935. The USS Bennington lay quietly at anchor until a mysterious explosion rocked San Diego Harbor in 1905. A harbor filled with enigmatic shipwrecks, including a notorious Chinese pirate ship, hidden off Los Angeles. These are but a few of the tales in California’s Lost Tales and Sunken Mysteries.
Explore the true accounts of lost aircraft, missing riverboats, and the very ship that Jack London used as a model for Ghost in his immortal tale, The Sea Wolf. Search for such enduring legends as the Ghost Ship of the Desert - true accounts of not only history but the adventure of exploration and discovery as told by a seasoned storyteller and explorer, illustrated with over a hundred vintage and present-day photographs.
