in 1912, the rms titanic sank to the bottom of the north atlantic in one of history's most infamous maritime disasters. 75 years later it is discovered that titanic's hold contains a shipment of a rare mineral, the only available supply in the world large enough to power a top-secret and vital united states defense program. when no method can be found of extracting the mineral under more than 12,000 feet (3,700 m) of water, pitt and his crew set out to do the impossible: raise the titanic.
dr. gene seagram leads the top-secret pentagon program meta section, which secretly attempts to leapfrog current technology by 20 to 30 years. one result: the sicilian project, which uses sound waves to stop incoming ballistic missiles. the immense power needs of the sicilian project can be met only by an extremely rare mineral called byzanium. after satellite data pinpoints the most likely source of byzanium, meta section sends sid koplin to novaya zemlya, an island off the northern coast of the soviet union. there he discovers that the byzanium ore has already been mined. while making his way back to his hidden boat koplin is shot and captured by a soviet guard but is rescued by the story's protagonist, dirk pitt.
using clues found by koplin, seagram determines that the byzanium a chunk worth more than a quarter of a billion dollars in 1912 figures was mined in the early part of the 20th century by a group called the coloradans, including joshua hayes brewster. the group was originally hired by the french government, but persuaded by the u.s. government to steal the mineral for the united states. brewster and his men engage in a running battle with french assassins as they crisscross europe trying to get their stolen goods home. only brewster reaches england alive, and he books passage on the maiden voyage of the great white star line ship titanic.
realizing that the only supply of byzanium sufficient to power the sicilian project now lies at the bottom of the north atlantic, dr. seagram approaches dirk pitt and the national underwater and marine agency and gives them the near impossible task of raising the titanic. using data from drop tank experiments pitt is able to narrow down the search area and begin searching with deep sea submersibles. after finding a presentation model cornet that they can link positively to a member of the titanic's band, pitt and his colleagues know they are searching in the right place. after discovering that the titanic is intact they set out on audacious plan to patch all of the holes and then raise the wreck using compressed air.
meanwhile the central intelligence agency convinces the president of the united states to leak information on both the sicilian project and the titanic mission to the soviet union in the hopes of setting a trap to capture one of the soviet's best intelligence men. when soviet leaders realize that the development of the sicilian project would throw off the balance of power in the world and leave their nuclear arsenal impotent, they do just as the cia hopes and launch an operation to sabotage the mission and steal the byzanium for themselves.
once the titanic is secured for the trip to the united states, a massive hurricane strikes the salvage area, allowing the soviets to covertly board the ship and take the crew hostage. pitt, who was previously believed dead after being last seen on board a crashed helicopter, reemerges to expose the soviet spies within the salvage crew. after the crew, with the help of seals who boarded from a hidden u.s. navy submarine, regains control of the titanic the ship is eventually towed to new york harbor and laid up in the brooklyn navy yard. when the ship's vault is opened, all are shocked to discover the byzanium was never actually aboard the ship. this revelation, coupled with deep troubles with his marriage and the president's agreement to leaking word of the sicilian project to the soviets, eventually cause dr. seagram to have a nervous breakdown from which he never recovers. it is eventually revealed that joshua hayes brewster, fearful that he would not make it onto the ship with the mineral, buried the byzanium in the grave of vernon hall, the last of the group to fall to the french assassins, located in the tiny english village of southby. the novel ends with a successful test of the sicilian project in the pacific ocean.

in 1912, the titanic is the biggest ship that was ever built. it is 269 metres long and everyone thinks that the ship is also very safe. the ship can carry more than 3.000 passengers, and has many decks, a swimming pool, a library, turkish baths, and excellent restaurants and bars.
the titanic leaves southampton, on the south coast of england, at noon on april 10, 1912.
there are 2.207 people on the ship for its first trip. in the first class there are 322 passengers, in the second class 275 passengers, in the third class 712 passengers and crew people are 898.
the different classes dont mix on the ship. they lives on different decks, the first-class passengers are on the higher decks, the second-class passengers in the middle and then come the third-class passengers at the bottom of the ship.
for the first-class passengers life on the titanic is as comfortable as in the most expensive hotels in europe or america. some of the richest people in the world are on the ship. john jacob astor iv is possibly the richest of all, but none of his millions helps him he also dies in the cold water in the north atlantic. bruce ismay, the president of the white star line (the foreigner of the titanic) and thomas andrews, the ships builder are also on the titanic.
life for the passengers in second class is comfortable too, but more than half of the passengers are in third class. to stay on these decks isnt comfortable, but the rooms are clean and bright.
on sunday, april 14, on 13:45 p.m. comes the third ice-warning on this day! captain smith doesnt show it to his officers until 7:15 p.m.
on 11:40 p.m. an iceberg hits the side of the titanic and fifteen minutes later, water comes into the ship. no hope, the ship is sinking now.
there is only one thing that captain smith can do. just after midnight, he orders the crew to prepare the lifeboats.
because there are more than 2.200 people on the ship, but the ship have only 20 lifeboats for 1.178 persons. so women and children are the first who are going. parents say goodbye to their children, husbands kisses their wives for the last time.
while the crew begins to fill the boats, radio operators jack phillips and harold bride begin to send messages for help. the first replies come from ships that are too far away. then they hear from carpathia, but this ship is about ninety-three kilometres away. it can reach the titanic in four hours. when all the lifeboats are in the water, there are still more than 1.500 people on the ship!
at around 2:10 a.m. the musicians play a final song. suddenly, the front of the ship moves down into the water. a big wave begins to move up the deck. the end is here.
in the great ships final minutes the lights go out. the ship is breaking in two pieces. people are still falling. at 2:20 a.m. the morning of april 15, the queen of the ocean sinks.
the people in the lifeboats pull for their life. the cold is terrible, but much worse it is for the people in the black water. many are screaming for help, but the screams are becoming quieter, as the people in the water become weaker and weaker.
at 4:00 a.m. two hours later the carpathia comes to the place of the accident. the crew counts the 705 survivors and bring them to new york. more than 1.500 of the titanics passengers and crew dies in the north atlantic!
