The Discovery of the Titanic
Robert D. Ballard
New York, New York: Warner Books, 1987
|
Robert Ballard's thrilling first-person account of an extraordinary voyage of discovery, and the tangled history that led up to it.When I burst into the van, Stu informed me that Argo had just passed over a massive ship's boiler. The initial elation in the room has subsided to a simmer, but was still ready to boil over again. Quickly, they replayed the image of a big ship's boiler -- Titanic's. I didn't yelp or shout. In fact, for a few seconds, I didn't say anything. Then, totally at a loss for words, I simply kept repeating in a quiet but incredulous voice, "God damn. God damn..." I turned to Jean-Louis. The look in his eyes said everything. The Titanic had been found. We'd been right all along. Then he said softly, "It was not luck. We earned it."
