And I believe the Ballard expedition dates to 1999 and has been explored by National Geographic and PBS.

Ballard is most known for the discoveries of the wrecks of the RMS Titanic in 1985, the battleship Bismarck in 1989, and the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown in 1998.

He also discovered the wreck of John F. Kennedy’s PT-109 in 2002 and visited Biuku Gasa and Eroni Kumana, who saved its crew.

Today, Ballard leads ocean exploration on E/V Nautilus.
