4. I know! I first read about it in a book by Charles Pellegrino,
Her Name, Titanic. I've also read A Night to Remember by Walter Lord. Believe it or not, I actually prefer Pellegrino's book. It includes information on the discovery of the Titanic and some very interesting biographical information about Ballard. Also, the stories of the victims and the survivors of Titanic seem more vivid.

The recent movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio gets dissed around here a lot, but I really loved it. I think it caught the haunting feeling of the disaster very well. Of course, it helped that I saw it on a HUGE screen. It was a truly beautiful movie seen that way.
