In July 1986, Robert Ballard and his team would dive 12,500 feet into the wreck of Titanic which they discovered 1 year prior.

It’s amazing to see how much better condition it was back when it was first found. Less rusticles, no memorial plaques laid in front of telemotor area. Breathtaking footage. Thank you for sharing.

This was the first time humans laid eyes on her since 1912. Never again will she be seen in such good condition as every year she succumbs to sea erosion. A very important historical moment in itself

I remember when that happened, I stayed tuned in everyday for updates on the rescue mission. I already knew they were gone, but somehow I still held on to hope that they would be saved. It was really hot that week back in June, 2023. The ocean is beautiful but dangerous, we must respect the ocean. Maybe that was a sign the Titanic should be left alone to rest in peace along with the victims. It's basically a huge graveyard. Next month on the 18th will the one year anniversary since it happened, may all 5 victims rest in peace. Stockton Rush caused it by hindering safety over innovation & ignoring safety protocols.

Does anyone else dream of having had the technology in 1912 and being able to find her and study it shortly after it sank? I mean from a scientific point of view. In other words just to see the full damage, how she broke apart, the clean version of her hull, no rusticles anywhere, easily identifiable areas of the ship and debris, and to just see her in all glory sitting alone in the darkness. Before any of the decay and deterioration. It would have been incredibly eerie, haunting, and heartbreaking at all once. Her condition now makes me want to cry and at times I can’t bare to watch.

Yes. Before all the rusticles and before so much more of it disintigrated. It really was literally total destruction. It was astonishing. Most of this grand ship was ripped to pieces.

Footage is very good considering it is nearly 40 years old, back then the Alvin submersible was already 22 years old (launched in 1964) and still exists today unlike the Oceangate submersible Titan...

It's hard to believe it's been down there for what will soon be an additional 40 years since they discovered it. It was 73 years old at that time. That means from the time she originally sank until approximately 1952 is the equivalent duration. Crazy.

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" No thing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. - Percy Shelly, "Ozymandias"

I find it very strange that it sat all those years, and suddenly as soon as found, began seriously deteriorating....could it be that after all that time in darkness, that all the sudden ROV lights caused the iron eating bacteria to awaken? Secondly, if she is to vanish, and theres no human remains, perhaps then, every effort to bring back whatever is recoverable should be made . I see no harm in that, once the wreck itself has collapsed and disappeared, for every museum to have a piece

The footage is magnificent as well if we judge that its from those years as well! The title however in this video suggests that they dive the self's and its wrong and misleading,they just send a remote controlled small machine to capture the footage it wasn't something like with the titan those years! If they made a successful dive back then close to now the titan tragedy would be even more tragic as a whole!

@titaniac7955 Ай бұрын

The intent is not that at all. If you go around 21:36 (or just that general area), you can see the submersible Alvin. Alvin was actually manned by Ballard and a couple other people. They did send a small machine inside the wreck tho to capture the interiors. There is also a video from this expedition showing Ballard inside of the Submersible. Obviously, this isn't ANYTHING like the Titan Sub.

@shaunmcclory8117 Ай бұрын

I have read the book written by Dr.Ballard all about the discovery of Titanic in 86 and the subsequent return to the site 1year later when this was filmed, they did indeed go down in a submersible (alvin) which also had small rov's (jj) they landed the sub on top of the marconi room and sent the rov (teathered to the piloted sub) down the opening where the grand staircase was, so yes much of this footage is filmed by an rov's camera but they were in a submersible a few dozen yards away controling it!!! In 1987!

@desubtilizer Ай бұрын

The Alvin submersible was launched in 1964 and went down to the Titanic in 1986 but obviously a submersible is too big to explore the insides of the Titanic hence the remote operated vehicle was used for that. The Alvin submersible still exists today. There are about 10 submersibles and submarines certified to go down to the Titanic. The Titan didn't quite pass the test...

Wouldn't have been a very nice sight, the bodies of men, women, children, and animals have long since dissolved, but had we have had the technology to go down shortly after she sunk, we would see hundreds of bodies within the ship and around the debri field. Only pairs of shoes still remain today in certain places where bodies once lay.

Isnt ocean full of marine lives like shark, whales,etc ?? Doesn't divers while releasing such submersible inside the oceans encounters any marine animal while steeping down??. Also what are the chances that passengers who drown inside the ocean were eaten by any marine animal???

@mstunameow Ай бұрын

Not many animals live at 12,000 ft+ below the ocean, it becomes much more rare to find them. Only highly specialized sea-life with squishy bodies to withstand the pressure, who can survive in very cold temperature with little food survive at these depths. There is a certain type of shark which can sometimes be found, small octupus, jelly fish, snailfish...definitely no whales!

@@mstunameow Yes, indeed, all big sea creatures including whales, and vicious sharks always stay in the parts of the ocean closer to land where the sun’s rays reach the ocean floor when it comes to being in freezing, iceberg-infested water.
