Play from 0:00[0:00]" Well it's restoring that most Americans don't know about unless they watched the movie with Mel Gibson it's on the battle glibly. A world war tragedy in many ways when the British tried open up front and attack Turkey. And it's really sad story it's over a quarter million casualties on each side almost half a million young men. Sacrifice it is affirmed what many people believe it was a hopeless cause so British in their typical fashion we're just gonna charge like the light brigade. The -- now what they're battleships and and taken -- and try to redirect the Germans away from Russia's so. It's it's an -- Matt strange story and I can say one that most Americans have never heard."

Play from 0:48[0:48]" you are right about that and I am sure that with Europe that advanced equipment that you have used in the past few uncover such wonders as a Titanic. Tell us about the kinds of sonar side equipment and other research tools you use."

Play from 1:03[1:03]" Well ahead our entire. Quiver of tool for this expedition. We had about five different vehicles then it all depended upon what kind of terrain we were up against in the battle ago the police they were fighting in the sea of Marmara. Which is fairly deeply gets down to 3000 seats so we needed vehicle that can get down. The 3000 feet searching for British and Australian submarine that were lost there then when he actually died in the dark -- themselves the narrows. A you're really -- rocked countries so that in many cases you had to go on with visual systems. And then around the corner at an exact speech -- that. The aussies and and and the New Zealanders came storming ashore much like Normandy. It was very flat and so you would there you would deploy its another kind of sonar system and then once you picked up the target. You would then bring in your remotely operated vehicles we have one called Hercules was incredible. High definition cameras and and then lighting systems and -- need to went and filmed."

Play from 2:02[2:02]" What kinds of -- did you find."

Play from 2:05[2:05]" Wow it was quite a spectrum that. British and and the French lost numerous battleships so there were several we found six different battleships. Down there. They Australian lobster submarine which we we've we've found. And then they that that Germans had given the Turks a was Ottoman Empire that time had given them a -- cruiser which we also tracked down landing craft I -- it was to maintain. Underwater museum. Preserved from world war watts."

Play from 2:37[2:37]" Speaking up preserving. Should it stay and you take these wonderful pictures and you bring them to last thank you for that on National Geographic. We should stay intact as it is it is a graveyard after."

Play from 2:49[2:49]" Absolutely it's no different in many ways the mean battleship Arizona these -- memorial there are thousands and thousands of young men encapsulated in these. In these warships and some of them went down. So -- that no one survived so very much so and fortunately the Turkish government is protecting them. We were escorted by their Coast Guard at all times. These ships are to be seen and appreciated and remembered that not touched."

Play from 3:17[3:17]" Any close calls during this latest adventure."

Play from 3:20[3:20]" Well -- but they're the closest call. We were in the main shipping channel. There were hundreds and hundreds of large ships just roaring along and we were working in 120 -- today so it nightly had to be really careful. Did not get run over and become a casualty ourself so it would hardest part was just -- in the area of intense. Maritime traffic as you pass. Through the dark -- up through the prosperous and into the black piece so it's a major thoroughfare."

Play from 3:48[3:48]" We are glad you're home safe and sound and always a pleasure to talk with you doctor Ballard thank you so much."

Play from 3:54[3:54]" Thank you and watch the show thank you very much."
