You may recognize Dr. Robert Ballard as the oceanographer who discovered the wreckage of the Titanic. But he is also responsible for discoveries that rewrote science books. https://www.wgal.com/article/one-on-one-with-oceanographer-dr-robert-ballard/39113975

Hi y'all A while back, I read "The Discovery of the Titanic" by Dr. Ballard. When I got to the part of when the Boiler was found, they went and flew over upturned decking and hull fragments and portholes. Where ARGO fly over after discovering the No. 1 Boiler Room boilers? Is it possible they...

I watched this this evening. As best I can tell it first aired in 2019. It was actually better than I was expecting. Learned a few things I didn't know mostly dealing with maritime law. I've never met Dr. Ballard other than seeing him speak at the 2012 events in Belfast. I would like to ask him...

The Kings of Titanic, I guess. (even though Ballard was Co-Founder on the expedition) What are their views on each other?

Here are a few pictures from last night. I wasn't able to meet him to have him sign my book unfortunately but the auditorium was packed. He mostly talked about his recent projects, and mentioned Titanic very little which was disappointing. He is working with the university's oceanography...

I remember Ballard saying that he was looking for a debris field. One definitely would've been created if the ship broke in half. Why was he willing to believe the survivors who testified that the ship broke in half when so many people thought she sank intact at the time? Why was he able to...

If I recall correctly, he discovered a boiler first and then found the bow section; that's when he realized the funnels were off and the ship had split in two. How soon did he find the severed stern after finding the bow? And how far apart are the stern and bow sections from each other?

The Lost Ships of Robert Ballard is a 2005 reprint of the 1997 book Lost Liners by the same authors, but it has another chapter added; which is about the Bismarck and other lost military ships of WWII. Lost Ships is only available in hardcover, but Lost Liners is in paperback and hardcover. I...

Hello ET community, Long time lurker and occasional poster... I was wondering if anyone could recommend some works to me regarding efforts to discover, explore and salvage the wreck. I find this area of the ship's history a bit lacking as of late. Clearly, I know about the Ballard books, but...

Hi Im just wondering if there is footage in existance from the first dive to the Titanic wreck? would be fascinating veiwing!

Happy to report that to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of Titanic and as inauguration of Readers Digest Classic, the publication is offering it's 1986..."The Unsinkable Titanic" in the April 2012 issue. I recall my excitement in 1986 upon reading the articles column..."That's...

Last year the Sauder brothers, Eric and Bill published online a set of plans and illustrations as background briefing material for the above mentioned mission. Today I discovered them online http://www.rmstitanicplans.com/367natgeopack.html

Today I received an advert from the Easton Press about the special leather bound edition of 'Titanic-The Last Great Images'. It measures 11 1/2" 11"- leather bound and accented with 22 carrot gold-Plus signed by Dr Ballard. I'll pass- I'm only interested in 1st editions....But thought this...

Boy! Just when you thought you had enough TITANIC books...here come two more good ones. Dr. Ballard's coffee table book "Titanic, The Last great images" and Chatterton & Kohler's book in regards to the double hull section (Just got that one yesterday at B & N). As for Ballard's book I...

Just last night I was looking at my collection of TITANIC periodicals and came across the Fall 1985 TITANIC COMMUTATOR. Therin (Pg. 11) is a copy of a letter mailed to Lamar Elementary School (Students) by Dr. Ballard on Sept. 30, 1985. It is on WHOI stationary. The third sentence reads...

This may be the wrong place, but I have to confess I really want to say it. I've been more of a lurker than I normally would have in the past, but my tastes in history have diversified exponentially while I was at college for the degree. So before I go to grad school at Fordham, I wanted to say...

This must have been something he thought of from the beginning. He is brave to go after what he wants but what is sad is that he opens the doors to the potentially greedy. It's really hard to be him when you know this will happen. But I really admire Ballard. I think he's got lots of class and...

I would love to get an email directly to Dr. Ballard. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but does anyone know how to get a direct email to him? This email will contain so slander, but questions and a few compliments. I was just curious as to if anyone had any idea that would help me out...
