Dr. Robert Ballard, the man who discovered the Titanic, examines the ancient waters off the coast of Gallipoli in his latest underwater quest.
During World War I, nearly 150,000 lives were lost here in a futile and bloody battle.
Ballard wants to examine how and why so many lost their lives on the shores of Turkey. The answers lie not only on the battlefields but also beneath the waves.
A small Turkish force outwitted the might of the British Navy that was attempting to crush the last remnants of resistance of the weakened Ottoman Empire.
The clues to this astonishing defeat lie in a series of wrecks that line the coast.
On an extraordinary and poignant journey, Ballard dives into ancient waters to unlock Gallipoli’s deep secrets.
