The Search for Kennedy's PT 109 is a keeper for any academic historian and National Geographic collector. It is the first time I could listen to and appreciate the words of Edward Kennedy. Because for the first time he wasn't speaking about his out of whack and out of touch left political agenda. Instead he spoke of his love for his brother and the Greatest Generation. This documentary is a good one.

It might have been an interesting video, I don't know because my player said: "this video can't be seen here". So it was an "1" marked video. Like it was on amazon.co.uk.....

This product was produced by the National Geographic so quality of the disc and production are high. The leader of the search team is Dr Bob Ballard the man who discovered the resting place of the titanic some five miles below the surface of the north atlantic. This endeavour takes us to the south western pacific archipeligo of the solomons and neighbouring isles. the search is difficult and frustrating but eventually the team are rewarded. What remains of the little "mosquito boat" is not much considering she was essentialy constructed of plywood and was carved in two by a destroyer of the imperial japanese navy the evening she was lost. But what is discovered provides a poignant reminder of the dark, dangerous days of world war II.This program will appeal to those intersted in Jack Kennedy, maritime salvage and the WWII officionado.I suggest that this item be purchased in unison with the companion book "collision with history, the search for Kennedy's PT-109"also currently available through Amazon.
