When Oxford archeologist Mensun Bound—dubbed the “Indiana Jones of the Deep†by the Discovery Channel—teamed up with a financier to salvage a sunken trove of fifteenth-century porcelain; it seemed a dream enterÂprise. The stakes were high: The Hoi An wreck lay hundreds of feet down in a typhoon-prone stretch of water off the coast of Vietnam known as the Dragon Sea. Raising its contents required saturation diving; a crew of 160; and a fleet of boats. The costs were unprecedented. But the potential rewards were equally high: Bound would revolutionize thinking about Vietnamese ceramics; and his partner would make a fortune auctioning off the pieces. Hired as the project’s manager; Frank Pope watched the tumultuous drama of the Hoi An unfold. In Dragon Sea he delivers an engrossing tale of danger; adventure; and ambition—a fascinating object lesson in what happens when scholarship and money join forces to recover lost treasure.
