The stories of the great lost liners - the Titanic, Lusitania, Britannic, Empress of Ireland, Andrea Doria and others - are filled with drama, romance and tragedy. Today those fabled ships that lie on the ocean floor comprise an extraordinary underwater museum. In this large and lavishly illustrated volume, underwater explorer Robert D. Ballard gives a guided tour of these ghostly ships and tells the complete story of the glory days of the Atlantic liners. High-quality underwater images reveal the lost ships today, eerily preserved for decades, while a host of paintings, period photographs and illustrations recall the splendor that once was.
