An historical look at deep-sea exploration. Ballard begins in 1930 with William Beebe and Otis Barton, pioneers of the ocean depths who made the world's first deep-sea dives, before moving on to review the advances made by Jacques Cousteau. Finally he describes his own major discoveries, including the development of remote-operated underwater vehicles and the revolutionary search techniques that led to the discovery and exploration of the Titanic, the Nazi battleship Bismarck, ancient trading vessels, and other great ships.
'From finding the Titanic to exposing the geophysical processes that cause oceans to form and continents to move, explorer-scientist Robert Ballard has lived adventures that combine the best of scientific research and Indiana Jones. Bristling with suspense and laced with wry humour, The Eternal Darkness will captivate even the most seasoned landlubber.' Sylvia A. Earle, former chief scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
