I'll give it five stars for the uniquely detailed information on important maritime archaeological digs of recent history. The chapters on Mediterranean finds in the early days of scuba/aqualung exploration were totally fascinating.

The details of each dig was completely overwhelming and I had to start glossing over all the technical minutiae if I was ever going to get through it, but the highlights of historical maritime archaeology was well worth the overall read.

This book was both incredibly interesting, and incredibly dull. The detailed descriptions, and the history behind known and well known shipwrecks was fascinating to read. What wasn’t was the endless technical details of the ships and how they are operated and outfitted.
