[ 책 소개 ]
1622년 남미의 식민지에서 약탈한 황금과 보석을 가득실은 Atocha라는 보물선이 스페인을 향해 미국 플로리다의 남부를 지나가다가 허리케인을 만나 그만 침몰하고 맙니다. 스페인 왕은 침몰한 보물선을 찾기 위해 함대를 파견해서 바다 밑을 뒤지게 했으나 Atocha는 흔적도 발견할 수 없었죠. 그로부터 약 338년이 지난 1960년, Mel Fisher라는 탐사가는 가라앉은 보물선을 찾기 위한 활동을 본격적으로 시작합니다....
이 책은 바다 밑에 가라앉은 보물선을 찾기 위한 과학적인 탐사노력이 어떻게 이루어지는지, 그리고 인양 후 보존을 위해 어떤 작업을 하는지를 Gail Gibbons 특유의 아기자기하고 상세한 그림과 함께 소개합니다. 책 말미에는 역사적으로 유명한 침몰선 인양작업 사례 4건과 다이빙 잠수의 역사도 보여줍니다.

Book Description
A rotting hull of a ship...lost gold...coins...gems...Sunken Treasure! Today treasure hunting is a big business. Searchers use metal detectors and sonar to locate treasure on the ocean floor. Divers use high-powered machinery to uncover objects buried in the sand and to raise them to the surface. And more than just treasures are discovered. A whole window into the past is opened up. A salvage can take months or even years. But it's worth it!
Publisher's Weekly
A readable, involving text, paired with attractive watercolor illustrations focuses on the history and fate of Nuestra Senora de Antocha. The Antocha is a 17th century Spanish galleon that sank during a hurricane off the coast of Florida. The book details the history of the wreck and the many attempts to salvage her, culminating in the successful 1985 operation that netted one of the most lucrative treasures ever found. The Antocha is only the alluring frame for the story: along the way, readers also discover a tremendous amount of information about sunken treasure, salvage operations, the history of diving, the restoration and preservation of wrecks, and much more. Gibbons also briefly details other famous treasure hunts: the Mary Rose , the Vasa , the Whydah and, finally, the Titanic. For its engrossing subject matter and attractive, well-designed package, this book reveals Gibbons at her best.
School Library Journal
Once again, Gibbons makes a complex subject understandable and appealing to young children; here she fills a gap in materials available on treasure hunting for this age group. Judy Donnelly has written two books for this age: True-Life Treasure Hunts (1984) and The Titanic Lost and Found (1987, both Random), but neither contains the in-depth information and attractive illustrations found in Gibbons' book. Gibbons follows her usual style: colorful, detailed, often labeled illustrations, accompanied by brief but accurate text. Here she uses mottled, rather than flat, backgrounds, giving the book a different look from her other books. The major portion tells of the 1622 sinking of the Spanish treasure ship Atocha and its subsequent discovery in 1973. Children will appreciate the difficulty involved in unearthing treasure from the sea, the cast, the specialized equipment used, and the historical significance of a search of this magnitude. Gibbons makes each step of the process a fascinating one, and the frequent frustrations are also well-detailed. The last pages of the book briefly describe four other treasure hunts, including the search for the Titanic. Finally, Gibbons includes a very brief history of diving. Librarians and parents should be prepared for many requests for further information on treasure-hunting, as this book will whet children's curiosity for more.
