Patti Callahan's Surviving Savannah was interesting and entertaining. The steamship Savannah sank off of the North Carolina coast in 1838. This is a dual timeline novel. Part-time the story is told by one of the ship's passengers and the present story is told by a history professor who is invited to collect and curate items found from the sunken ship. The dual storyline was enjoyable and gave an insight into the way of life in 1838 and the disaster that killed so many and also explained what went into diving upon a sunken ship and retrieving and restoring artifacts. I highly recommend this book.
