Dark Descent

"Dark Descent" by Kevin McMurray delves into the tragic sinking of the Empress of Ireland in 1914, a maritime disaster that claimed over a thousand lives. The audiobook explores the ship's final night, the controversies surrounding the sinking, and the daring efforts to salvage her remains, all set against the backdrop of deep-sea exploration. With a focus on both history and the perilous pursuit of underwater recovery, it offers a compelling look at this largely forgotten tragedy.
