What caused Titanic to sink? Where did explorers find the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror shipwrecks? Learn how, when, and where some of history's most famous ships sank and when they were discovered. Each book highlights several shipwrecks in the oceans or Great Lakes, including each ship's final voyage, why it sank, its discovery, and any artifacts that survived the sinking. Readers will learn about the ocean or Great Lake where the sinking took place, as well as technology used today to help keep ships and crews safe. Real-life photographs take readers around the world, and each book features a map and quick facts on the shipwrecks.
