The most complete (to date) overview of all the important expeditions to the wreck of Titanic from 1985 to 2021.

The remains of the world's most famous passenger liner, RMS Titanic, were discovered off the coast of Newfoundland in 1985, seventy-three years after it sank; since then there have been numerous deep-water expeditions to the wreck site. Yet, not much has been revealed about the details of these operations until now. Here, Eugene Nesmeyanov recounts all the major Titanic expeditions since 1985, taking us on a journey alongside the scientists, cinematographers and other specialists who have visited the legendary wreck 21/2 miles below the surface of the North Atlantic. Presenting a thorough analysis of the sophisticated technical equipment, along with historical, biological and other scientific findings, and rare material from official archives and private collections, this new paperback edition also includes recent events, including the dives planned for 2021, and now includes an index for the first time.

AUTHOR: Eugene Nesmeyanov inherited an interest in Titanic from his father, who was Commander of the Soviet Navy (Baltic fleet). Eugene studied Philosophy at St. Petersburg State University and worked in the State Hermitage Museum. In 2013 he published his first book on Titanic, which he worked on for more than ten years, and which became the largest written work about Titanic available in Russian (in two editions). He has published articles on Titanic across Russian and English language media and has lectured widely. He lives near St Petersburg.
