The stretch of California coast from San Francisco to Monterey has seen its share of disastrous shipwrecks with devastating losses, but there are also stories of courage, innovative rescues and unique salvage operations. Uncover the tale of the adventurous, ill-fated Sir John Franklin, now marked only by a nearly forgotten cemetery, and relive the wreck of the New York, one of the most notorious ships to ever sail. Learn about the Coastside's worst maritime tragedy, when the passenger steamship San Juan was struck by the oil tanker twice her size and sank in minutes, plunging seventy-five men, women and children into the sea. Join author JoAnn Semones as she shares the stories of doomed ships that found their end along Coastside California.

The eye of the camera lens is a window to our world. Through it, we see beauty, tragedy, and the passing of our lives. Sometimes, if we are especially fortunate, we are privileged to view fleeting moments in history. "Eye Remember" is a personal glimpse at the people, places, and events that shaped a generation of post World War II "baby-boomers." This volume contains photos, all from the author's personal collection, and profiles of celebrities, activists, and political leaders from those times. They colored the lives of us all.
