Michael Bullard, who was born and raised in Delaware County, PA, decided to move to the little historical town of Lewes, Delaware, and become a member of the Lewes Police Department. In the summer of 1999, he achieved his scuba diving certification, and became obsessed with solving the mysteries surrounding the Delaware’s “China Wreck”. This book is a log of all of his dives on the China Wreck and of the people and divers he met along the way.

Just how many shipwrecks lie off the coast of Delaware is anyone’s guess. To scuba divers, a shipwreck is like a time capsule. A piece of history, temporally buried at the bottom of the sea. Scuba divers search for, and recover, artifacts from these shipwrecks in an attempt to preserve pieces of our past so that they may be researched and shared by others.
