Charles Pellegrino

CHARLES R. PELLEGRINO is a forensic archaeologist and scientist whose New York Times bestseller Her Name, Titanic sold over a million copies. His recent books include To Hell and Back: The Last Train from Hiroshima, Ghosts of the Titanic and Unearthing Atlantis.

Pellegrino holds a Ph.D. and bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Long Island University. He served as technical advisor to director James Cameron on the films Titanic and Avatar, and Her Name, Titanic was among the nonfiction sources for Cameron’s Oscar-winning film Titanic.
