Dr. Bob Ballard explores the histories and the final resting places of famous 20th-century passenger liners, including the Titanic, the Lusitania, and the Empress of Ireland.

Thousands of artifacts from the Titanic are caught in an international tug-of-war, thrusting the fate of the shipwreck into uncertainty. Featuring James Cameron, director of the award winning-film Titanic, Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 1985, and living relatives of passengers on the infamous ship.

Robert Ballard has been living and breathing the Titanic since he was part of the team that discovered it in 1985. In Save the Titanic With Bob Ballard, he revisits the iconic ship in an entirely different way—from the perspective of those who set sail on it some 100 years ago. Ballard travels to the shipyards of Northern Ireland to retrace the path of the doomed ship from its very incarnation. Throughout his journey, Ballard is driven by one personal question—will the Titanic survive another 100 years? As evidence mounts that the ship is under siege by natural forces, careless visitors, and even rogue salvage operators, the man who found it teams with the families of victims and survivors to protect the legacy of history’s most famous ship.
