Charlet tells the thrilling stories of shipwrecks along the coast of the Outer Banks in North Carolina, where more than 6,000 ships met their doom. A sequel to Shipwrecks of the Outer Banks, Charlet pens twenty-five more fascinating stories of rescues, failed recoveries, hidden treasure, and more fascinating details that occurred at what is now one of the most popular vacation spots in the United States.
