Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In September 1985 Ballard and a Franco-American expedition discovered the wreck of the Titanic . Ballard used a specially designed remote imaging system to locate and photograph the wreck and then returned the following year to further survey and photograph the site in a three-person submarine. This pictorial record of his expedition is filled with good quality color and black-and-white pictures. Wherever possible he compares the modern-day pictures to original ones of the Titanic . After briefly discussing other attempts to find the Titanic , he gives a solid account of the sinking, then details the events that led to the ship's discovery. Highly recommended for libraries with an interest in the Titanic. John Kenny, San Francisco Public Library

5.0 out of 5 stars the first witness to see Titanic since 1912 tells his story...
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2014

A great cindition to the book! I cannot imagine why a Robert Ballard book will be as cheap as few dollars. I payed 5 times more for shipping it than the price of the book. Yet, I always prefer Robert's version of the story on Titanic. He was the discovered. He comes here for the first time EVER to dispute the fact Titanic sank in one piece. Of course, that theory was assumed before but not by many. Eye witnesses, many of them, couldn't see the ship going underwater as they rowed away because it was a dreadful scenerio...
This documentation of Robert B. is very detailed and a bit sophisticated so you get a LOT more for the price you pay. It is NOT a book you put on the book shelf without looking at it again.
I highly recommend the book simply because after 1912, this was the only REAL Authentic record of what really happened Down there. You Guess it - he saw the ship first, before others did right after. Saying it as it was. Lying, waiting to be discovered and shake up Our world :).
A must read book for any genuine Titanic buff!

Got this in Like New Condition for $5 with $4 shipping - it's an old book you can tell is out of print, but it's big, has lots of interesting pictures and tons of information, very excited to read it. Wouldn't hesitate to tell anyone to order a used copy. It's something I'm glad to now have as part of my book collection.

This is for my daughter (she is in FFA). She uses it for cleaning her lamb's pen. The grate helps to sift without it falling through, works great!

Un livre génial, passionnant, que l'on dévore, absolument indémodable... Même si désormais tout le monde sait que le Titanic est retrouvé, on ne se lasse pas de lire et relire l'exploit de ceux qui l'ont fait.
