After years of research and shipwreck documentation to include previously unexplored wreck sites, Gary Gentile has assembled the most comprehensive list of modern shipwrecks in Massachusetts waters to date. Complete with the history, present condition, and location of the majority of the sites chronicled, this work is a must have for any New England Diver or shipwreck enthusiast. Also featured in this volume are the author's dealings with NOAA  (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and his efforts to gain public information from the obstinate government bureaucracy. In this work the reader will learn about NOAA's heavy handed way of dealing with citizens that dare to ask for public information. Information that your tax dollars paid for, yet the government refused to release. With untiring determination, diligent research, and a lifetime of experience with sorting through and following up on leads, as well as dead ends, Mr. Gentile is able to present to his readers information that was previously unpublished.
