In the two-hour special, Oscar-winning filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer-In-Residence James Cameron leads the ultimate cold-case investigation into the tragedy.

In Salvemos el Titanic con Bob Ballard, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Robert Ballard retraces Titanics beginnings and examines the ships original plans never before filmed to reveal untold stories of Titanics heroes and the unwritten story of Titanics future.The two landmark specials are the centerpiece of a larger cross-platform National Geographic Society initiative to commemorate the 100th anniversary, which will include the April 2012 cover story in National Geographic magazine, the first magazine to fully chronicle Ballads 1985 discovery of the wreck. The commemorative plans also include a major digital hub, interactives, books, home entertainment, lectures, maps and kids products.
