[Tina Chandler · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was amazing, considering that the movie will come.out in Friday. Anything by.Robert Ballard is a must read to anyone interested in shipwrecks and the sometimes daunting tasks to.find them again to the stories of the four veterans (two American and two Japanese) .
