Product Description
After the world's first scientific underwater excavation took place off the coast of Turkey in 1960, a significant part of history was brought to light on the Anatolian coasts with the efforts of many prominent scientists, especially George Bass, in shipwreck excavations. The unsung heroes of this process are the sponge divers who showed the underwater wrecks to archaeologists. We know that Bodrum sponge divers, in particular, showed many of the known and excavated wrecks to archaeologists today. The book in your hands, so to speak, is a glimpse into the lives of these unsung heroes. It is Mustafa Kapkın, one of Turkey's first underwater photographers, who touched their lives and conveyed them to us in their simplest form. Mustafa Kapkın is not only an underwater photographer but also a person who loves his country and the cultural values of these lands. He is a valuable figure who guided Peter Throckmorton, who came to our country in 1958, introduced him to Bodrum and Bodrum sponge divers, and subsequently strived to introduce the underwater wrecks to the world.
