Description: For centuries tales of sunken pirate treasure, ancient shipwrecks, and submerged cities have lured scientists and divers. But before the turn of the century they did not have the diving and salvaging equipment to raise their finds or techniques for preserving wood and metals that had rotted hundreds of years on the ocean bottom. Then "the bends," a mysterious seizure found n divers, was conquered, and frogman equipment was developed by marine pioneers. Underwater archaeology slowly became a science. The treasures it is bringing up from the deep include valuable cargoes, great works of art, and most important, knowledge of ancient peoples and their cultures. Archeology.
