Mariners have long dreaded the labyrinth of the San Juan Islands. Bounded by the howling straits of Georgia, Rosario, Haro, and Juan de Fuca, the islands have proved the resting place of many an unlucky ship. With the aid of period accounts and historical photographs, Shipwrecks of the San Juans brings to life harrowing tales such as the infamous Clallam tragedy, the Bahada mystery, and the unsolved disappearance of the yacht Prelude...along with many more.
