I really enjoy learning about shipwrecks,
espcially the ones that Dr. Robert Ballard
found, or explored, like the Titanic,
Lusitania, and the Bismarck. I
also like reading about the ocean liners that
sank. Six years ago I started reading the
book Dr. Ballard wrote on discovering the
Titanic, and I have loved shipwrecks
ever since! My all-time favorite is probably
the
Titanic, but below there are links to
others, too! I hope you enjoy reading about
them as much as I did!!
I don't believe that anyone should go down to
the
Titanic to salvage dishes, and other
items from
the wreck. It is a gravesite of all the
people that went
down on the ship, and a place of memories for
others. It
should be a
memorial to all of the people who drowned, or
froze to
death. All shipwrecks should be respected
like that. But
that is just my opinion; please don't be
offended if you
believe otherwise!!
Now, on to the links!
