Until the growing popularity of air travel post-World War II, Americans going abroad traveled by ship. Though Southwest Virginia is not a coastal region, its residents traveled far and wide. Some were involved in the most infamous shipwrecks of the age of steamships, many of whom lost their lives. The foundering of the legendary Titanic on her maiden voyage, the horrific fire aboard Morro Castle and the smoke-engulfed decks of U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor were all witnessed by Southwest Virginians. Local author Brandon Whited grants them their long-overdue place in the history books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brandon Whited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467155918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467155915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.08w x 0.11d","brand":"Brandon Whited","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44810025304319,"sku":"9781467155915","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b05ed6c1-1a6f-41c2-9c5d-dd04af19d981.jpg?v=1707928126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/southwest-virginia-and-maritime-disasters-brandon-whited-9781467155915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
