In 1985, Oceanographer Bob Ballard went searching for the most famous shipwreck of all time. Explorers, including Ballard, had been looking for the ship for years without luck. But on this voyage, the team had Argo, a deep-sea vehicle with a remote-controlled camera to help with the search. For days, the team pulled Argo across the ocean floor and found nothing. They were beginning to lose hope. Then, on September 1, something appeared on their video screen. It was a piece of the Titanic! Find out what happened next in Rediscovering the Titanic.

Featuring historical imagery, first-hand accounts, and lively text, the four titles in this series will answer all these questions... and more.

Download or read book Secrets of the Titanic written by Sam Chase and published by Centennial Books. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believe it or not, researchers are still making new discoveries about the Titanic after more than 100 years! This book is the most visual and most up-to-date chronicle of the famous ship's development, voyage and ultimate tragedy, illustrated with numerous photos and drawings. More than one hundred years after the “unsinkable” Titanic sunk after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic, the tragedy continues to haunt us. That’s partly thanks to the movies—notably James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster, Titanic—that have turned the story into a sort of modern myth. In fact, when it comes to the events of April 15, 1912, untangling fact from fiction has become increasingly difficult. Was the captain drunk? Was the ship going too fast? Did the crew ignore ice warnings? Do the ghosts of the wreck's 1,500-plus victims still haunt the frigid sea? These and other questions are explored—and often answered—here. You will experience the ship’s fateful final day and enter into the glittering lives of such celebrated passengers as John Jacob Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim. You’ll also learn the fascinating stories of its lesser-known travelers: the man who kidnapped his two sons; the movie star who starred in a film about the disaster, and many other unsung souls whose lives were lost—or changed forever—when the ship went down. In the end, you’ll probably agree that (movie myths aside) the truth is much stranger than fiction.
