My name is Robert D Ballard

I found the Titanic.

In 1967, I was a member of the Boston Sea Rovers. I loved underwater exploration. I loved listening to explorer Jacques Cousteau and shark expert Dr Eugenie Clark. I have always been fascinated by the sea. I grew up in Southern California. As a teenager, I took up scuba diving. At the University of Hawaii, I took marine geology. To pay for it, I worked as a porpoise trainer.

In 1967, my life changed dramatically. I was called up to the US Navy. I was assigned to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. I enjoyed studying weather patterns and mountain ranges of the deep.

Starting in 1973, one subject occupied my time. Bill Tantum told me story after story of the human drama surrounding one specific sea disaster.

I had to find it. It was the Titanic.
