Another great book is Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea by Gary Kinder.
It's about the recovery in 1989 of an estimated $1 billion in gold from the 1857 shipwreck of the SS Central America. The story alternates between Tommy Thompson's decade-long search for the wreck and the story of the shipwreck itself recreated from survivor's accounts.
It's available on the Kindle.
