New marine archaeological evidence has revealed the remains of a large land mass to the north of Britain that hosted an advanced civilization 1,000 years before the recognized “first” civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, or India. Remembered in Celtic legends as Tu-lay, and referred to by geologists as Doggerland or Fairland, this civilization began at least as early as 4000 BC but was ultimately destroyed by rising sea levels, huge tsunamis, and a terrible viral epidemic released from melting permafrost during a cataclysmic period of global warming.

Jim Clary presents a compelling and riveting digest of beliefs, customs, and mystery in Superstitions of the Sea.

We all love a good mystery don’t we? I mean each and every one of us are, or will be, captivated at one time or another by a decent, scary mystery; either one of the world’s most famous or something on a much smaller scale. But, writing a book on just one of these would have been relatively easy. The challenge came from researching many of them and then condensing them down in a way that I know you, my listener, will enjoy them. And that is in short, sharp informative sections that can be read on the train, bus, queue or whilst you are waiting to pick the kids up from school.

Pirates, sailors, and merchant seamen have fought many battles with Mother Nature, and the ones who lost didn’t always go quietly into the murky depths. A flaming ghost ship and her lost crew still navigate the coastal waters off Nova Scotia. The frigate Genii was lost with all hands in New Brunswick, but one sailor lingers on in spirit, haunting both the beach where his body washed ashore and the nearby mansion where his body was laid out for burial.

The oceans of the world have always had an air of mystery. About 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, and until the 20th century no one had plumbed its depths.

Thus it comes as no surprise that countless legends have arisen of strange creatures lurking in the depths.

There were many amazing stories, such as the giant whale which attacked a ship in the 19th century. This event was the reason Herman Melville wrote the book Moby Dick. There are many records of giant fish and serpents in the water. The question is which of these have some basis in reality. In this book, I tried to do some comprehensive research on the giants of the deep. I hope you find this interesting.
