Join Christopher Weaver and Michael Salvarezza of Eco‑Photo Explorers as they recall the tragic history of the R.M.S. Titanic and the exciting search for her remains.

On a cold April night in 1912, the magnificent new luxury liner R.M.S. Titanic struck an iceberg as she was making her way towards New York on her maiden voyage from England. In a few short hours, she sank beneath the icy waters of the North Atlantic, taking with her the lives of more than 1,500 people. The tragedy shocked the world and, through the years, the legend of this story has continued to grow. Seventy-three years after the sinking, the wreck of the Titanic was discovered 2 ½ miles below the surface by an intrepid group of Oceanographers using state of the art technology. The show will also feature discussions on the technology used to find the wreck and will examine the current controversy over the recovery of artifacts from this site.
Eco-Photo Explorers, a New York based organization was formed in 1994 to promote interest in protecting the environment through knowledge and awareness as well as in underwater photography. Photography, multimedia slide presentations, lectures and freelance writing are all used to accomplish this goal. Their photography and writing have been featured in many publications such as Natural Geographic Adventure, Immersed, Advanced Diver, Discover Diving, Diver Magazine, Sport Diving, Lighthouse Digest, WW II Magazine and other national and international magazines. Organizations such as Beneath the Sea (largest consumer dive show in North America), Boston Sea Rovers, Our World Underwater, the JASON Project (founded by Robert Ballard), Long Island Diving Association (LIDA), the Board of Cooperative Educational Services of Nassau County (BOCES) and the Atlantis Marine World Aquarium has also used their work.
Christopher Weaver and Michael Salvarezza, who make up Eco-Photo Explorers live on Long Island, New York, have been scuba diving together since 1978 and started seriously photographing the undersea world in 1989. Since then, they have spent hundreds of hours underwater accumulating and putting together a large and varied library of stock photography.
