"Ship of Gold" by Gary Kinder. True account of the loss of a gold carrying passneger ship of the North Carolina coast in 1850s. Then turns to the attempt to locate and salvage the gold in deep ocean.
Nothing to do with fishing, but one of the best books I've ever read..
Also, "Shadow Divers", about deep water diving to locate and identify a wreck off of NJ.
"Giant Bluefin" an excellent story of the Cape Cod bluefin tuna fishery.
