This book is a memoir written by Robert Ballard, who is most known for finding the missing wreckage of the Titanic. The reason I bought this book was because of my interest in Titanic, especially after visiting the Titanic museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I love all things ocean, and the stories about different experiences in and around the ocean by this author were so engaging. Beyond the actual dealings with the ocean, the author overcame several personal struggles- his failed marriage and issues in academia just to name two. This was a good book, and I would suggest it for those who are interested in Titanic and other ship related books.
