Finding the Titanic
The great ship Titanic sank in April 1912, and for almost seventy-five years lay unfound on the ocean floor. Scientist Robert Ballard dreamt of finding the lost ship, and this is the thrilling account of how he made this dream come true. Interspersed in the narrative is the story of the sinking itself, as told through the eyes of a twelve-year-old girl, one of the fortunate survivors. The you-are-there narrative, photos, and drawings add to the excitement, and help readers to understand the magnitude of this great tragedy.
