Editor's Note
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC - PT 109: KENNEDY'S LOST SHIP traces the search by Dr. Robert Ballard, the discoverer of the sunken Titanic, for the famous boat manned by future president John F. Kennedy. In August 1943, during World War II, Kennedy was a lieutenant aboard the PT 109 when a Japanese destroyer torpedoed the ship and left the crew clinging to life aboard the wreckage. Using archival footage, reenactments and new eyewitness interviews, the documentary makes for an absorbing and historical story.
