The story of the Titanic has been told countless times, but very few books talk in detail about the numerous expeditions that have visited the wreck; even less will talk about the personal stories associated with these underwater trips. Now, for the first time, details are given of some of the less well-known deep diving expeditions to the world's most famous shipwreck, focusing on the people who lead them, the equipment being used and the background stories of the research vessels that have carried these teams out to the cold, dark Atlantic swells. From the failed expeditions in the early 1980s to the tragic loss of a submersible four decades later, this is the story of the searches and the dives to the wreck of a ship which has become synonymous with disaster. Using interviews with people who were there at different times, we rediscover a shipwreck that has captivated the imagination of people from around the world to the point where they are willing to risk their lives just to have a glimpse. But it is this glimpse of the Titanic that has cost so much money and affected so many lives. AUTHOR: Richard M. Jones has made it his life's work to research and study shipwrecks, disasters and forgotten history across the world which has led to over two dozen books and the installation of no less than sixteen memorial plaques commemorating the victims of long forgotten tragedies and wartime exploits. With a Masters Degree in Naval History, he lives in Hampshire with his wife, children and cats. 40 colour, 40 b/w illustrations
