The book is based on the personal research of the two authors in Lloyd's records, newspapers, the Post Office Archives and other reference facilities at home and abroad. It significantly updates the standard works on the subject, recording many new discoveries. This is particularly evident in the two wartime periods.
The book following the introduction is divided into seven chapters, with an appendix for seized mail. This book should be of considerable appeal to anyone interested in wreck mail, with the comprehensive index a great help to all, including collectors of related subjects
