Description: Not even God himself could sink this ship? On the evening of Sunday, April 14, 1912, the awesome ocean liner Titanic, the majestic queen of the White Star fleet, struck an iceberg and quickly vanished into the frigid blackness of the North Atlantic. Seventy-three years later, a dedicated group of scientists set sail in search of the sunken behemoth, an incredible mission that uncovered shocking secrets buried two miles below the ocean's surface. In Her Name, Titantic, Dr. Charles Pellegrino combines two enthralling adventures in one: re-creating with breathtaking immediacy the terrible night the great ship went down, and offering a riveting, first-hand account of a remarkable expedition, and the miraculous scientific technology, that helped shed astonishing new light on the greatest seagoing disaster of the 20th century.
