Almost one hundred years after the great liner sank, and over a decade after James Cameron’s film introduced millions to the ship, the Titanic saga has not yet ended. In Titanic: The Last Great Images, Dr. Robert Ballard weaves the strands of the Titanic tale together more completely than ever before. Through unique, new underwater photographs, archival illustrations and maps of the wreck and debris field, this astonishing book provides the clearest, most accurate view of the ship we have ever seen— or ever will see. Dr. Ballard’s images—many of them previously unpublished—give a human perspective to the story that has attained mythic proportions. The haunting photos show us all that remains on the ocean floor of the men, women and children who perished when the ship went down. It’s a site that Robert Ballard believes should be untouched, so that the current rate of decay may be slowed before the wreck and its detritus are gone forever.

DR. ROBERT BALLARD discovered the wreck of the lost Titanic on September 7, 1985—seventy-three years after the great vessel sank.
