Today's web log article is submitted by Rob Goldsmith, the UK History Channel Titanic diver and my submersible dive partner on this year's Titanic expedition. Rob's article will formally announce support for this link on our site to his wonderful web site that has many Titanic pictures from our expedition - including some pictures of me. I hope that you enjoy his site!
Guest Author - Rob Goldsmith regarding his wonderful Titanic web site:
Rob Goldsmith's Titanic web site is no ordinary Titanic enthusiasts website, it tells the story of my personal journey from my interest in the Titanic from the age of eight through to my dive to the wreck site in July 2005 which I was lucky enough to win in a competition run by The History Channel. The website contains a day to day weblog as well as a comprehensive photo gallery. The photo gallery shows a large collection of shots including the wreck, submersibles, Keldysh and general life on board ship. Explore the site further to see photo galleries from Biggin Hill Airshow and the Goodwood Revival, probably the most famous classic car event in the world. Finally get to know me better by looking at pages showing my work as a freelance cameraman and my interest in the Mini and sign up to my free discussion forum.
Rob's History Channel documentary aired in the UK last month to overwhelming success. There are plans to distribute this show to other areas of the world and we will announce this on our blog. In order to visit his site, we have placed his link on the right hand column of this web log. I know that you will enjoy all the pictures!
I just wanted to leave you a note saying that I greatly enjoy your blog and I think it very interesting. This is something that has interested me every since I was very small. Your website is amazing and intriguing. I hope you continue with it.
P.S. what shipwreck sites have you visited during the course of your career?

Hello Jacob,
Thank you for your kind comment. I have been actively involved with shipwreck exploration for 35 years and have visited thousands of ships. I have visited everything from a French treasure galleon to the famous White Star liner RMS Titanic-and everything in-between. I like the ocean liners and next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the beautiful Italian luxury liner named Andrea Doria sinking off the Atlantic coast of Nantucket Island where we will have a huge diving expedition scheduled in July 2006. Additionally, I enjoy the military wrecks that include airplanes, submarines, destroyers and aircraft carriers etc. Some of my favorite wrecks are those that have been historically famous like the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor or the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland. We will unveil later next week a huge discovery/exploration project looking for lost Navy aircraft that will be shown on television in a 2-hour documentary by NBC News so come back within the week for further details.
Cheers,
David Bright
