In this book Robert Ballard makes an interesting topic available for children. Not only does he discuss the sinking of the Titanic, but he also discusses the sinking of four other ships. It is a very interesting book with some surprising facts. (

Robert Ballard was the first to spot the ruins of Titanic.
In Ghost Liners, he tells the story of five famous ships lost at sea. Ballard relies heavily on survivors stories.
This book is illustrated with large paintings and underwater photography
Also see Exploring the Titanic also by Robert Ballard (
