Eighteen months of hard work has given the Cayman Islands a much-needed historical tome – Shipwrecks of the Cayman Islands.
The book by Cayman Brac resident Lawson Wood officially went on sale 26 May at Hobbies and Books, Grand Harbour.
The author was on hand to sign copies of the book.
With a foreword by Jean-Michel Cousteau, author of Great White Shark, the book is full of graphic pictures and appealing, concise articles.
It details 500 years of Caymanian history.
Shipwrecks of the Cayman Islands is the result of much painstaking research done in the Cayman Islands National Archives and the archives of the Caymanian Compass.
Material also came from the National Museum and the museums in Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
The attractive, professionally bound and glossy-covered book sells for CI$36.
It is available at both Hobbies and Books stores: Books by the Bay in Grand Harbour and Piccadilly Centre on Elgin Avenue.
