Her name, Titanic:
This controversial book met with mixed reviews. It consists of the author's account of his visit to the wreck site of the Titanic set alongside a depiction of the events leading up to the sinking of the ship. Pellegrino writes of a visit to the site following its discovery by Robert Ballard the designer of submersibles for deep-sea exploration and includes details of their discussions. Ballard had discovered the site of the wreck in 1985 while testing the Argo, a new deep-water submersible equipped with a remote-controlled camera and describes the search in his own book Discovery of the Titanic: Exploring the Greatest of All Lost Ships. Appendices include details of the Titanic's cargo manifest.
