Graveyard of the Pacific by Randall Sullivan

A gripping exploration of the dangerous waters and maritime history surrounding the Pacific Northwest coast by Randall Sullivan. Graveyard of the Pacific examines the treacherous stretch of coastline near the mouth of the Columbia River, where violent storms, hidden shoals, and powerful currents have caused thousands of shipwrecks over the centuries.

Blending history, survival stories, nautical lore, and investigative storytelling, Sullivan captures the drama, mystery, and human cost tied to one of the most feared maritime regions in North America. The book explores shipwrecks, lighthouse keepers, Coast Guard rescues, explorers, and the rugged coastal environment that shaped the region’s history.

Atmospheric and richly researched, this compelling work is perfect for readers interested in maritime history, Pacific Northwest lore, survival stories, and the powerful relationship between humans and the sea.
