An expedition to make peace with the past.

Three evacuation ships … three wartime tragedies … 20,000 lost lives.

For those who believe the sinking of the Titanic was the greatest maritime disaster in history … think again. GHOSTS OF THE BALTIC SEA documents how three German evacuation ships were torpedoed by Soviet submarines during the final stages of World War II, recounting the emotional stories of these ships through survivors of the disasters. Dr. Robert Ballard, the marine scientist who discovered the Titanic, joins the survivors on an expedition, using remote cameras to travel to the bottom of the cold, dark Baltic Sea to bring their chilling stories to light.
