Soft back cover book detailing the D-Day Wrecks of Normandy, by Mark James
"The greatest amphibious invasion fleet ever assembled, consisting of over 3,000 vessels, set sail from England on June 6th, 1944, for Normandy France.
The losses that occurred have largely been forgotten but have left Normandy with a legacy of wrecks and a wreck-divers paradise which, after 50 years beneath the waves, is only now being discovered."
The wrecks now lying on the seabed in the Baie de Seine were part of the biggest military amphibious landing in history, the biggest naval action ever in one day and most of them have remained untouched since the day they sank.
The majority of the D-Day wrecks lie in less than 40m of water with the majority in the 20-30m range.
Taken from Mark James's intro to the D-Day Wrecks of Normandy - a time in our history.
