by Robert Ballard In April 1912 the magnificent new liner RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and sank beneath the icy waters of the North Atlantic. This is the compelling first-hand account of Dr Ballard s 12 year quest to find the sunken liner. With the help of rare archive pictures, charts, paintings and a 25 inch photo mosaic of the ship, Ballard recounts the Titanic s fateful last night and describes the moment-by-moment drama of the expeditions that found and explored her. The exact location of the Titanic is revealed and, finally, many of the mysteries that have surrounded her tragic fate are laid to rest.
