Clive Cussler has been an outstanding adventure novelist since 1973. He had a huge bestseller with Raise the Titanic in 1976 and he has written 33 books in total. But he has another career as the founder of the National Underwater & Maritime Agency which he founded in 1979. This organization is a non-profit, volunteer foundation which is dedicated to preserving our maritime heritage through the discovery and conservation of shipwreck artifacts. This group has found over 60 historically significant shipwrecks including the C.S.S. Hunley which was the Confederate submarine which successfully sank for the first time in history another ship during the Civil War.
