Description
The British ship, the Royal Captain, belonging to the Honourable East India Company, struck a reef in the South China Seas in 1773 and sunk 350 metres beneath the surface. This publication follows the eminent underwater archaeologist, Franck Goddio, as he and his team find and excavate the unfortunate ship in her final resting place. New standards for underwater archaeology were set during this deep sea expedition, using the cutting edge technology of underwater exploration to reach the ship which was lying at such a depth in the sea.
