Ever since I first read a worn copy of Robert Ballard's 1988 book "Exploring the Titanic" in the 1st grade (about 6 years old, so in 1996) I have never ceased to be fascinated by history's great ocean liners. They were much more than mere transportation. For decades they represented their country's engineering prowess, economic might, and cultural sophistication. Many years have passed since the passenger jet rendered them obsolete. Yet they continue to live on in the public's collective consciousness as the epitome of glamour, elegance, and style.
