1912, 2000s: What lies BENEATH the Titanic?
A tidal wave of pounding excitement from the first page to the last . . .
Two and a half miles beneath the icy North Atlantic the mighty Titanic holds the key to the safety of the free world. The Americans want it. So do the Russians. Ace maritime troubleshooter Dirk Pitt faces one of the most stupendous tests of courage and ingenuity ever.
Raise the Titanic is a spellbinding blockbuster of action and suspense
Clive Cussler’s imagining of the raising of the Titanic is fascinating. This looks at the moment the ship was discovered and attempts were started to raise the ship and find whatever was on it. The moment in the book is hard to take your eyes from – that moment when the ship appears and the treasures and secrets from the ship come to light.
In reality, the wreck lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3.8 km; 2.37 mi), about 370 miles (600 km) south-southeast off the coast of Newfoundland. It lies in two main pieces about a third of a mile (600 m) apart.
