On the evening of Sunday, April 14, 1912, the awesome ocean liner Titanic - the majestic queen of the White Star fleet - struck an iceberg and quickly vanished into the frigid blackness of the North Atlantic. Seventy-three years later, a dedicated group of scientists set sail in search of the sunken behemoth - an incredible mission that uncovered shocking secrets buried two miles below the ocean's surface.

From Publishers Weekly:

"Evolutionary biologist and spacecraft consultant Pellegrino celebrates the importance of oceanographic exploration in this personal--sometimes pretentious and repetitious--reflection on the wreck of the Titanic and the long-awaited discovery of its site 73 years later," remarked PW . Photos.
