In the course of researching nine books about shipwrecks, I drew a rough map, posted it on a wall and marked the site of each lost ship. In time I had over five hundred locations. A professional designer drew the lands of the Atlantic region, laid out the boxes for ships' names and the lines to various localities. The ships' name and the year it was lost was added.
