	Robert Ballard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ballard was working towards a Ph.D. in marine geology at the University of Southern California in 1967, when he was called to active duty.
		Ballard's team made a general search of the vessel's exterior, and noted its condition, including the confirmation that Titanic had in fact split in two, and that the stern was in far worse shape than the rest of the ship.
		In 2004, Dr. Ballard was appointed professor of oceanography at the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island.

	Dr. Robert Ballard speaks for International Speakers Bureau
		Robert Ballard was born in Kansas, but grew up in San Diego, California, where a childhood fascination with tidal pools and marine life led him to study marine geology.
		Ballard had resolved to find the sunken hulk of RMS Titanic, the supposedly "unsinkable" ocean liner which had sunk, with massive loss of life, after she struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage in 1912.
		Ballard was then forced to wait an excruciating year for weather conditions favorable to a manned mission to view the wreck at close range.

	Robert Ballard
		Once Robert Ballard was in his teens, his interest with life beneath the surface of the sea continued un-abated, and he took-up scuba diving, which of course enabled him to take a much closer look at sub-aquatic life, but in order to make a career out of his hobby, he would need to study hard.
		Robert Ballard moved to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (W.H.O.I.) in Massachussets in 1967 where he would spend the biggest part of his career, and he also joined the Boston Sea Rovers at roughly the same time, who are one of the world's oldest diving clubs.
		Robert Ballard has always been a major advocate of performing underwater research and discovery using 'telepresence', which was essentially a way of doing away with costly and dangerous manned submersibles like Alvin.

		Ballard views his expeditions as epic adventures in search of a deep-sea Golden Fleece, hidden and preserved for centuries by the conditions at the bottom of the ocean.
		The tube worms represented the strange otherworldliness of the ocean that has fascinated Ballard for so long; they were his Golden Fleece, as were the wreck of the Titanic, the mid-oceanic ridge and so many of the other discoveries Ballard has made during his extraordinary 40-year career.
		In a 1999 interview, Ballard said: "If you were to compare the number of people who have been into outer space with the number who have been to the average depth of the ocean, I think more people have been in outer space.

		As difficult as he is to reach, it's tempting to think that perhaps Ballard doesn't really exist, or that he mysteriously disappeared several years ago and his name is now nothing more than a front for a large, faceless corporation: trademarked, incorporated, copyrighted, licensed, patented and protected.
		During his 30-year stint there, Ballard made what is probably his most famous discovery: the RMS Titanic, resting on a shelf in 12,500 feet of water, 1,000 miles east of Boston.
		Ballard and his team used a device called the Argo -- designed by Ballard -- to search the ocean floor for any signs of wreckage or debris from the Titanic, which sank in 1912.
