At Low Tide, especially after winter storms, historic shipwrecks are to be seen on many UK beaches. All can be visited on foot, most seen without getting your feet wet. This book describes the stories and details of some 35 that can be seen around the Welsh coast. Two of them have not been positively identified, but the author, using his expertise as a wreck detective has suggested a name for the shipwreck. All these shipwrecks are part of our cultural heritage. Please respect them as historical monuments to our bygone maritime heritage. They are like museum pieces that can be visited freely for us to ponder and learn from. Some of these wrecks have lain in the sand for more than 200 years and if respected now, should still be there in another 200 years.
