A renowned deep-sea explorer has recalled the moment he finally discovered the wreckage of Titanic as he returned to Belfast to view a new gallery named in his honour.
Ballard’s Quest was unveiled earlier this month at Titanic Belfast in honour of retired American Navy officer and oceanographer, Dr Robert Ballard and explores his incredible mission to locate the wreck of the famous ship 73 years after she sank.
The National Geographic Explorer-at-Large made a number of attempts to find the ship since his first expedition in October 1977 with deep sea salvage vessel Seaprobe.
