Titanic wreck captured in stunning detai

$15/hr Starting at $25

The submarine footage shows the ship’s bow (made famous in the 1998 film Titanic), the portside anchor, hull number one, and the enormous anchor chain of the ship that plunged to the bottom of the Atlantic after hitting an iceberg in 1912, killing more than1,500 passengers and crew.

Also captured is dramatic evidence of decay where some of the Titanic’s rail has collapsed and fallen away from the ship.

Titanic expert and diver Roy Golden said the footage was able to provide him with details he had never seen before.

He said: “For example, I had never seen the name of the anchor maker, Noah Hingley & Sons Ltd., on the port-side anchor.

“I’ve been studying the wreck for decades and have completed multiple dives, and I can’t recall seeing any other image showing this level of detail.”

He added: ““One of the most amazing clips shows one of the single-ended boilers that fell to the ocean’s floor when the Titanic broke into two. Notably, it was one of the single-ended boilers that was first spotted when the wreck of the Titanic was identified back in 1985.”

PH Nargeolet, a veteran Nautile submersible pilot added: “Early in the video you can see the crane used for deploying the enormous 15-ton anchor still located on the deck of the shipwreck and the shackle that was originally attached to the main mast that has now collapsed.”

OceanGate offers people the chance to join an expedition with the purpose learn and document the wreck without touching or disturbing the site on the Atlantic sea floor.

Since oceanographer Robert Ballard and an international team discovered the Titanic in 1985, most of the expeditions have either been to photograph the wreck or gather thousands of artefacts, such as fine china, shoes and ship fittings.

Titanic director James Cameron has also led teams to the wreck to record the bow and the stern, which separated during the sinking and now lie one-third of a mile apart.

Cameron has now spent more time among the wreck of the Titanic than the passengers did before the ship sank.
