The Discovery of the Titanic

Rating:
Summary: Very excellent.
Review: This is one of my most cherished Titanic books. Written by the excellent duo of Dr. Robert D. Ballard and Rick Archbold, it tells the story of not only the discovery and exploration of the Titanic, but has a chapter each about that fatal night in 1912 when she sank and about Jack Grimm's three fruitless searches for the Titanic as well. It also has commentary on some Titanic controversies and mysteries like the Californian and the Titanic. To cap it all, it has a marvelous introduction by the acclaimed historian Walter Lord, author of the Titanic books A Night To Remember and The Night Lives On. I have a copy of both the hardbound version and the recent paperback re-issue of The Discovery of the Titanic. I'd strongly reccomend picking up the re-issue as it has some new material in it that is quite interesting. To sum it up in a nutshell, this is a very excellent book!
