Secrets of the Titanic

Secrets of the Titanic
[DVD 910.45 Nat]

National Geographic interviews Robert Ballard, the man who discovered the Titanic's wreckage back in 1985. He talks about the excitement of his initial discovery and the fallout that followed. Ever since people have been looting the site and selling its treasures. Robert is determined to preserve the site so he interviews descendants of the passengers on the RMS Titanic and listens to their point of view of what's happening. So cool to watch actual videos of the Titanic at present day. Very informative about the construction of the ship and the men who were involved in creating it. -- recommended by Carrie K. - Bennett Martin Public Library
