OCEANOLOGY: THE TRUE ACCOUNT OF THE VOYAGE OF THE NAUTILUS, by Ferdinand Zoticus de Lesseps and Emily Hawkins (Edited by)

Follow the fascinating journey of Captain Nemo and explore the ocean’s wonders, both real and imagined … or are they?

And what if he were the sole survivor of the ill-fated voyage and went on to relay his adventures to a certain . . . Jules Verne? Find this brave young man’s own account in the lavishly illustrated Oceanology, a tale of an 1866 voyage of discovery that investigates diving bells and shipwrecks; coral reefs and ice canyons; sharks, giant octopi, and luminous sea monsters; underwater volcanoes, and even the legendary island of Atlantis.
