From Publishers Weekly "Evolutionary biologist and spacecraft consultant Pellegrino celebrates the importance of oceanographic exploration in this personal--sometimes pretentious and repetitious--reflection on the wreck of the Titanic and the long-awaited discovery of its site 73 years later," remarked PW . Photos. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. Book 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.
