Description

The author uses a memoir format to present the history and development of the Submerged Cultural Resources Unit of the US National Park Service (known among divers as the SCRU Team). Lenihan was the founding chief of this archaeological diving team. It begins with Florida cave diving where the author cut his teeth and proceeds through stories of places like Isle Royale, diving the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor, the atom-bombed wrecks of Bikini Atoll and the CSS Alabama, the confederate raider sunk in the English Channel.

Description

Submerged is Daniel Lenihan's remarkable story of 25 years as founder and head of the Submerged Cultural Resource Unit (SCRU)—ranging from ancient ruins covered by reservoirs in the desert Southwest to a World War II submarine off the Alaskan coast; from the Isle Royale shipwrecks in the frigid Lake Superior to the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor; from the HL Hunley, the first submarine in history to sink an enemy ship, in Charleston Harbor to the ships sunk by atomic bombs at Bikini Atoll, and much more.
