was natural that Eric
Sauder would become involved in preserving the history of these great ships.
Over the past fifteen years, Eric has advised on dozens of
ocean-liner-related books and television documentaries, and he is the
co-author with Ken Marschall of R.M.S. Lusitania: Triumph of the Edwardian
Age.
Because of his knowledge of passenger ships of the early 20th Century, Eric
was asked by Dr. Robert Ballard to act as Historian for his explorations of
the wrecks of the Lusitania and the White Star liner Britannic (sister ship
of the Titanic). It was his close involvement with these expeditions that
gave Eric a unique insight and knowledge of these great lost ships that is
not available through other consultation services.

After
a short time, he was quickly promoted to the position of archives
administrator for the ship -- a position he held for several years -- while
specializing in the art, architecture, and mechanical workings of the great
liner.
After the discovery of the wreck of the Titanic in 1985, Bill worked closely
with maritime artist Ken Marschall and identified key pieces of wreckage,
helping to piece together the final moments of history's greatest ship. Bill
has also served as Technical Advisor on Robert Ballard's Lusitania expedition
in 1993, and in August, 2000, he joined the month-long expedition to the
sunken liner Titanic. In addition, he was a Visual Consultant on James
Cameron's Titanic.
Bill's specialty is turn-of-the-century naval architecture and marine
engineering, which brings a unique knowledge of the workings of the great
four-funneled liners to any consultation.
