Description: This book tells the story of the author’s experiences salvaging the “HMS Fantome”, “HMS Feversham”, “Le Chameau” and “L’Auguste” off the coast of Cape Breton Island and Nova Scotia…and how the Canadian government and Parks Canada conspired to “steal” a large part of what was recovered and terminate the leases it had previously issued prior to their expiration.
This auction is for the trade paperback Penguin Books 2013 edition.
Condition: Like New
I also currently have a lead musketball from the French frigate Le Chameau shipwreck, also listed on Ebay. The book and artifact would make a great addition to any shipwreck library/collection.
GOOD LUCK!!!
