Mapping the Unexplored Ocean's Depths - Bob Ballard

From his start with National Geographic Society in 1975, Bob Ballard has made a career out of discovery: he was the first to find hydrothermal vents near the Galapagos Islands, located theTitanic‘s watery grave, as well as the Lusitania and scores of other ships in the Mediterranean Sea.
