A little more about Richie:
Was
Britannic,
the tragic sister ship of
Titanic,
always doomed? There was never a question that the explosion that ripped into her during World War I caused her sinking. The hurried wartime investigation accepted hasty assumptions and with the ship resting at 400 feet beneath Greek waters, the real question as to why the ship sank in less than one hour was never answered. It is through technological advances in underwater exploration and more than sixty years of searching that the far more likely sequence of events has finally been discovered. In
HMHS Britannic: Tragedy of the Last Olympian
, Richie Kohler, well-known from
Shadow Divers
, and from the TV series, "Deep Sea Detectives", takes readers on the intriguing journey from the rise of the magnificent Olympians to the fateful day in 1916. He then moves forward in time through multiple expeditions beginning with the great Jacques Cousteau who located the ocean liner in 1975. Each successive team that risked their lives uncovered new clues, but it was not until 2009 that Richie and his dive partner finally pinpointed the secret that had eluded them. Unknown to them was that even as they achieved their goal, the
Britannic
was claiming a final victim. The expedition leader - an expert explorer and personal friend - was dying at a shallower depth from an accident that stunned everyone. In picking up the pieces of that terrible day, Richie and a new team have finally documented their findings and the false narrative that was recorded can at last be corrected.
