Treasures of the Deep is the enthralling and true story of one-time Barnardo’s boy Captain Mike Hatcher. Hatcher has become one of the most celebrated ocean salvor of modern times. As well as raising countless precious cargoes from exotic locations such as Indonesia and Thailand, he has periodically incurred the wrath of south-east Asian governments, marine archaeologists and unscrupulous competitors.
His story is one of guts and determination in the face of adversity, and of daring skill and fantastic rewards. Interspersed with a beautiful and fascinating selection of photographs, the majority of which are in colour, this is one book which will be thumbed through time and time again and will tempt even those who have not yet discovered their interest in relics of the sea
