This unusual book celebrates the 100th anniversary of Cunard Line's Mauretania, one of the most famous liners ever built. A lucky ship, she held the transatlantic Blue Riband record for twenty-two years. Despite being scrapped in 1936, many of her magnificent interiors are still scattered around England. In fact, no other demolished liner of the past has so much material still on view.

Caught in tumultuous seas off the coast of northern California in 1865, the 220-foot sidewheeler S.S. Brother Jonathan skidded down the face of a massive wave and slammed into an uncharted reef. Her nine-story mast crashed through the bottom of the ship and within forty-five minutes she went under, taking with her 225 souls and millions of dollars' worth of newly minted gold bars and coins. Only nineteen people in a battered lifeboat made it to shore, and over the next several weeks, bodies and pieces of the ship washed up along a 125-mile stretch of the coast. For more than a hundred years the ship's treasure would remain one of the Pacific's great secrets.

Miles off the coast of Northern California lies a mariner's nightmare. Concealed by
a roiling sea and thick fog, the jagged edges of a submerged volcanic mountain chain
await approaching vessels like predators in the mist. This is one of the most hazardous
reefs off the West Coast. And for over a century, it has been home to the most remote,
most expensive, and most dangerous lighthouse ever built in America.
