Do you have a dream that hasn’t yet been achieved? Are you fascinated with the sinking of the Titanic? If so on either account, you aren’t alone. The Titanic’s demise is one of the most famous shipwreck stories that has been told over and over again by survivors, and dreaming? Well, that’s natural. We all want better. So how do these two ideas mesh? While some dreamt of riches bringing the ship back to the surface, it took decades to find the wreck. Not one or two, but many people had grand ideas of how to locate and preserve the ship. The stories of the Titanic and MANY other shipwrecks are documented in today’s guest’s new book. Daniel Stone has been fascinated by shipwrecks since he was a kid. He’s here today to share shocking facts about shipwrecks and how several people have made it their life’s work to find and preserve the Titanic.
