Synopsis: The first detailed account of the discovery of the Titanic. Supposedly the inspiration for the James Cameron movie "Titanic." From the back cover of the Avon edition: ""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."
