The Discovery of Titanic
by Robert D. Ballard
|
A cold April night in 1912 Titanic stroked an iceberg and sank in the
North - Atlantic. In the following days the world was shaken by the
terrible news. 73 years later, 1. September 1985, the latest news was:
"Titanic found." The same morning had Robert Ballard leading a
French/American expedition localized and photographed the legendary ship.
Ballard returned the summer 1986 to where he had found Titanic. He dived
down 4000 meter to the ghost ship to explore it. After landing on the ship
deck, he sent his "swimming eye," the robot Jason Junior, in to the
wreck. With 11 dives, Ballard and his crew explored the whole ship and
wreckparts.
This is a book to read if you are interested in the discovery of Titanic.
You will find lots of info about dr. Robert Ballard and when he found
Titanic. It is also very many beautiful and good pics from the wreck. You
will also find a little about what happened that sad night in April, but
as I said it is most about the wreck!
