There's a story you might have heard about an outlaw named Hood. Well, that story was wrong. Very wrong. Hood was a man to be remembered alright, but not for the reasons you're thinking of. After all, an outlaw's an outlaw for a good reason. This dark and twisted tale leaves no death out, no gut-churning detail is eluded. For this bandit's ambition rose higher than the tallest castle in England and his arrows tore through more flesh than a butcher. The thought of being forgotten galled the bowman, worse, it became an obsession. Which man, after all, does not want their name sculpted into history and their lives fashioned into words on a page? Hood wanted this and more. His fingers grasped at the strings of life, pulling all he could and searching for a kind of immortality. This, however, comes at a cost. A cost that's measured in buckets of blood and shrouded in death.
For over twenty years the battlecruiser HMS 'Hood' toured the world as the most iconic warship in the Royal Navy. Unmatched in her beauty and charisma, 'Hood' is one of history's greatest warships. During the twilight years of the British Empire the 'Hood 'toured the world showing the flag as a symbol of British power. As the Royal Navy's show-ship, 'Hood' came to command a special place in the hearts and minds of the British public. Such was the regard for HMS 'Hood' that her destruction in the Denmark Strait on the morning of 24 May 1941 by the German battleship 'Bismarck' created dismay across the world. Within minutes of entering battle 'the Mighty Hood' as she was affectionately known, was destroyed by a catastrophic explosion which had echoes of Jutland a quarter of a century earlier. Out of a crew of a crew of 1,418, only 3 survived. The sinking of HMS 'Hood' was the single largest disaster ever sustained by the Royal Navy. This book charts the life and death of this legendary battlecruiser in both peace and war from her early origins, through the interwar years, to her destruction.
"Author Andrew Norman explores the events leading up to the [sinking of the HMS Hood] and the legacy it left in its wake. His research includes reports from both the Royal Naval Museum and German naval records as well as a unique interview with the only living survivor ... of the Hood disaster, Ted Briggs. Virtually all of the author's material is taken from original sources and many of the photographs he includes to illustrate the text have never before been published. In HMS Hood : pride of the Royal Navy, he poses his own theory for the ship's sinking -- one that has until this point not yet been proposed"--Jacket.

David L. Mearns has discovered some of the world’s most fascinating and elusive shipwrecks. From the mighty battleship HMS Hood (sunk in a pyrrhic duel with the Bismarck) to solving the mystery of HMAS Sydney, to the crumbling wooden skeletons of Vasco da Gama’s sixteenth century fleet, Mearns has searched for and found dozens of sunken vessels in every ocean of the world.The Shipwreck Hunter chronicles his most intriguing finds. It describes the extraordinary techniques used, the detailed research and mid-ocean stamina (and courage) required to find a wreck thousands of feet beneath the sea, as well as the moving human stories that lie behind each of these oceanic tragedies. Combining the adventuring derring-do of Indiana Jones with the precision of a scientist, The Shipwreck Hunter opens an illuminating porthole into the shadowy depths of the ocean.
