From the discoverer of the Titanic. Packed with stunning paintings and photographs of the Bismarck in 1941 and as she looks today, plus fascinating full-color maps and diagrams.
The lights from Ballard's underwater camera sled Argo shone down on the sunken battleship. It's guns pointed crazily upward as if still ready to fire. Huge shell holes gaped in her wooden decks, and eerie giant swastikas glimmered through the darkness. Nearby stood an open doorway...the same door that Hiltler had walked though nearly half a century before.
Tells the thrilling story of the life and death of this famous ship through the eyes of four young German sailors who actually sailed on her-and survived the sinking. We then experience Ballard's suspenseful search and dramatic discovery of the Bismarck with Argo, the same underwater vehicle that discovered the Titanic four years before.
