Summary:
Sunken treasure and lost shipwrecks are the stuff of dreams. When the 'Griffin,' a 130-foot English East Indiaman loaded with valuable Chinese porcelain, sank in mysterious circumstances off the Philippines in 1761, she and her precious cargo seemed to have vanished forever. The gripping account relates how a few enigmatic clues led to a remarkable 14-month underwater excavation, which brought to light the only such English ship ever likely to be found.
