Adrift: The Curious Tale of the Lego Lost at Sea was written by Tracey Williams, with additional written contributions by Dr Curtis Ebbesmeyer and Mario Cacciottolo.
It is based on an incident that occurred in 1997 where sixty-two containers fell off a cargo ship (Tokio Express) after it was hit by a rogue wave off the coast of Cornwall. Included in the incident was one container filled with nearly five million pieces of Lego, much of it sea themed. In the months that followed, beachcombers started to find Lego washed up on beaches across the southwest coast. Among the pieces they discovered were octopuses, seagrass, spear guns, life rafts, scuba tanks, cutlasses, flippers and dragons. The pieces are still washing up today.
It is a gorgeous book, filled with watercolour illustrations, infographics, and delightful full-colour photography.
