Hidden History of Maritime New Jersey (2016)
An estimated three thousand shipwrecks lie off the coast of New Jersey–but these icy waters hold more mysteries than sunken hulls.

In 1854, 240 passengers of the New Era clipper ship met their fate off Deal Beach. Nobody knows what happened to two hydrogen bombs the United States Air Force lost near Atlantic City in 1957.
Random Seas And Design Of Maritime Structures (3Rd Edition) (Advanced Ocean Engineering) (2010)
Random waves are the most important constituent of the sea environment, as they make the design of maritime structures quite different from that of structures on land.

Theoretical aspects are also discussed in detail for further studies by graduate students and researchers.
