Synopsis
This lavishly illustrated book tells the story of the most exciting underwater adventure of the decade - the finding, raising and selling of the Nanking Cargo. In 1985 Mike Hatcher, ex-Barnado boy, ex-sheep farmer, located a Dutch East Indiaman, the Geldermalsen, which had been wrecked in 1752 in the South China seas. From the ocean bed, Hatcher and his partner, Max de Rham, salvaged its vast cargo of Chinese porcelain and gold. When this haul- known to the world as the Nanking Cargo - was sold at Christies in Amsterdam, it made over ten million pounds.
