The Search for Dunwich City Under the Sea by Jean and Stuart Bacon chronicles the fascinating quest to uncover the submerged remains of Dunwich, a once-thriving medieval port on the Suffolk coast of England.
Through their dedicated marine archaeological efforts, the authors detail the historical decline of Dunwich due to relentless coastal erosion and the subsequent underwater expeditions to locate its lost churches and buildings. The book highlights the challenges of underwater exploration in the North Sea and the significant discoveries made.
It offers a compelling account of a real-life "lost city," blending historical narrative with the excitement of archaeological investigation, appealing to readers interested in local history, maritime archaeology, and the enduring power of nature.
