Fellow, Divers, I've read this book once and listened to it twice! I am an avid 'wreck' diver and fan of pirate history and lore and this book delivers big time! In fact, if you read the epilogue closely, I am confident that John Chatterton hid an extraordinary Easter Egg for us. I contacted the author to discuss this find and shared with him my thoughts and information I put together supporting the possible location of another wreck of incredible renown!
PIRATE HUNTERS documents the efforts of two world-renowned treasure hunters, John Chatterton and John Mattera, who are willing to risk everything to locate the wreckage of the Golden Fleece. The Captain of the Golden Fleece, Joseph Bannister, was a little known figure during the Golden Age of Piracy, his exploits and achievements lost to time. With scraps of information pieced together, relentless investigative efforts, modern technology and pure salty grit, John Chatterton and John Mattera strike out to find and document the Golden Fleece, making it only the second pirate ship to be discovered and positively identified.
This book is very fast-paced and is comparable to some of the best thriller- fiction out there. And if you're a Scuba Diver with an interest in wreck diving, you will be hooked from the moment you open the book! Get your hands (or ears) on this book as soon as possible!
