From the book reviews: "This volume ... is an essential read for anyone involved in communicating heritage within a maritime context to the public. ... Between the Devil and the Deep makes a useful contribution to the study and analysis of public heritage initiatives within the maritime context. ... a good basis for people who are faced with presenting maritime heritage to the public for the first time and gives guidance to those navigating between pride in a project and institutional government policies."
