Publisher - Southern Book Publishers; First edition, first impression.

151 pages of text with illustrations, some in colour, including an appendix list of salvage artefacts.

The Salvage of the Birkenhead brings together the age old theme of honour and self-sacrifice, the quest for adventure and treasure and man's desire to challenge the might of the sea. We read of men who braved considerable danger and faced countless problems to realise their dreams: the salvage of the HMS Birkenhead, wrecked 136 years ago.

The discoveries made by Allan Kayle and his team of divers will be added to the wealth of history and legend surrounding the sinking of that fateful ship; the ship on which the great naval tradition of 'women and children first' was born..
