Dr. Robert Ballard is probably the world’s most famous explorer - in part because of his Titanic discovery - in part because of his tireless mission to uncover secrets of the deep.

He’s been in Connecticut this week to help launch a new exhibit at Mystic Aquarium called “Titanic – 12,450 Feet Below.”  He’ll also be taking part in a program at Fairfield University’s Open Vision’s Lecture Series called “The Future of our Oceans” on Monday April 23.

"That Tragic Night" - Survivors Recount the Sinking of the Titanic. 

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
