The Titanic was a massive passenger cruiser that sank on it’s maiden voyage after hitting an iceberg on April 15th 1912. 1,500 people died.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the release of James Camerons film about the doomed ship. If you haven’t seen it, make it your weekend homework. Its UH-MAZING!
In 1986 a team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) sent a submersible craft deep into the ocean and found the wreckage.
Now in celebration of the anniversary of the film, the team has released the entire 80 minute footage of the Titanic in it’s watery grave.
“The first thing I saw coming out of the gloom at 30 feet was this wall, this giant wall of riveted steel that rose over 100 and some feet above us,” says former U.S. Navy intelligence officer Robert Ballard, who was on the WHOI team, per Rodrique Ngowi and Mark Pratt of the Associated Press. “I never looked down at the Titanic. I looked up at the Titanic. Nothing was small.”
