It was definitely dark, but once your eyes are acclimated to it, the starlight on a crystal clear night does provide enough light to see shapes and forms, and absolutely enough to see the silhouette of the ship against the stars when you’re sitting in a lifeboat at water level.

Totally wrong. The recovery of artifacts for the public to see with their own eyes has done much to help preserve the legacy of the ship for future generations and have also given us far more insight for the long-haul. The idea that only an elite few should be able to see the ship with their own eyes in dangerous submersible journeys (which is what cost the lives of three) is ludicrous. I for one am more than sick and tired of all the sanctimony certain parties attached to the idea that artifact retrieval is "grave robbing" especially once the issue became moot. To this day I still hear certain jackasses in Titanic forums rant about how all recovered artifacts should be tossed back into the sea and that only shows how idiotic and crazy some of these people are in their sanctimony.

The designer was onboard, he helped many women and children onto lifeboats. In the design and construction of the Titanic he was denied many more lifeboats that he wanted and he also wanted a stronger design that would have made the Titanic impregnable.

Well Andrews was seen in the 1st Class smoking Room If I'm right about 30 to 40 minutes before the ship's demise. He was then spotted on deck throwing deckchairs overboard and then head forward to the bridge when the ship was about to plunge. He, along with Captain Smith, were sighted by a steward I believe, to have jumped over the port side bridge wing as the bridge flooded. They then ended up in the water and did not survive. Edit: I imagine that the main reason they did not survive is because of there being no boats near them. Even though collapsible B on the port side was thrown of the officer's quarters, once Titanic evened her list and plunged, the shifting of water sent collapsible B to the starboard side, away from Andrews and Smith.

That's true. As a Titanic nerd ever since "A Night to Remember" came out, the common feeling was that the Titanic was largely intact and pristine on the bottom of the ocean. The supposed lack of oxygen, the cold temperatures, and generally "dead desert" conditions at that depth were believed to have preserved the ship. However, we now know that the ship actually broke in two. Very little deep-sea diving had been done by 1985, so we now know much more about conditions there. And that such things as "iron eating bacteria" exist at these extreme depths.

Grandma was interested in the saga of the Titanic also and apparently read quite a bit about it and she was amazed at the technology that allowed us to view the wreck 2 1/2 miles down. One day she and I both looked through another National Geographic with another Ballard article entitled 'A Long Last Look at Titanic'. Miss you grandma.

Honestly... How soothing and calm this format of the news is. Straight to the point, information delivered, no sensationalism. Please, let's get back to this and give up this overall noise we have created.

I became fascinated with the Titanic back in 1980, when I was 6 years old, after I watched A Night to Remember on TV. That summer, I remember my aunt asking me if I wanted to go to the movies. She let me choose, and I told her, "Raise the Titanic". Two scenes in Raise the Titanic freaked me out: the scene where the submersible implodes, and the scene where, after raising the Titanic, they find the mummified remains of someone who had sealed himself in a watertight compartment on the ship.

Fun fact: the video side shots and the image put in the newspaper clipping are not the Titanic; they are of the Olympic. Of the Olympic class, the Britannic and Titanic had the partial unenclosed promenade deck whereas the Olympic's was fully unenclosed. Easy to tell because of the full length black area along B deck. In fact, many images of the "living" Titanic are actually of Olympic; including the grand staircase. Sadly, the Titanic wasn't around long enough to be well photographed.

Titanic still makes news to this day. She lives on and always will.

Interestingly lots of wealthy people showed interest in locating and raising the ship immediately, like the day after…essentially back then life insurance claims wouldn’t pay out without a corpse… owing to people disappearing, faking their deaths was quite common. So notably the Astor’s wanted to re float the titanic in the hope of getting a corpse. There’s a story about that I won’t go into Obviously first class passengers valuables were also of major interest. To directly respond to your comment we simply didn’t have any technology/materials/ engineering etc to do it. The Trieste went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in 1960, however titanics last coordinates were about 50 miles incorrect, the issue then came to finance. Robert Ballard only found the titanic on a US navy funded mission to find the wrecks of nuclear submarines Thresher & scorpion… the US knew these submarines had been lost but feared the soviets had either had something to do with their demise or had found the wrecks and salvaged technology from them. Robert found the two submarines in the allotted time frame, and with a few days to spare. The deal struck was he could use those submersibles for the remaining time to hunt for titanic. He found it with 24 hours to spare. Otherwise we may never have found it, possibly through private expeditions years later. His saving grace was not finding the bow or stern section, but finding a boiler in the debris field. Which then obviously led him to the wreck.

​@@jamesdelatour2266 1. How exactly did *anybody* believe the Titanic could be "re-floated" in 1912 when they were well aware how deep the Atlantic is at that spot?? They began measuring the depth of the seas using what is called a lead line in the 1840's already. I'd say that this claim of yours probably comes from one of those countless of sensationalist "news" sites. Or you made this up yourself. 2. "Obviously first class passengers valuables were also of major interest. " Right and the astronomic sum needed for the salvage of a ship would cost several thousand times the worth of those valuables. How does this make sense financially? 3. "Robert Ballard only found the titanic on a US navy funded mission to find the wrecks of nuclear submarines Thresher & scorpion… the US knew these submarines had been lost but feared the soviets had either had something to do with their demise or had found the wrecks and salvaged technology from them." Completely false. First of all the position of where the USS Thresher had sunk in 1963 was *already known* and the bathyscaphe Trieste took pictures of the totally torn apart wreck between the 24th and 30th of June 1963. Trieste then took a second series of dives in late August to early September 1963. It was *clear* the USS Thresher had lost control and sunk deeper until it *imploded* . The Thresher was also in contact with surface ships during its test dive mission. The ship in direct control was called Skylark. As Thresher neared her test depth, Skylark received garbled communications over underwater telephone indicating " ... minor difficulties, have positive up-angle, attempting to blow", and then a final, even more garbled message that included the number "900". When Skylark received no further communication, surface observers gradually realized Thresher had sunk. A hydrophone on another ship also recorded a "loud distortion" which is probably when the sub imploded. *So no, they knew very well there was no Soviet part or blame in this accident* In 1964 they dove down to the USS Thresher yet again. The 1964 search included Mizar (with partial modifications but not a center well), Hoist, and Trieste II, Trieste's successor. That submersible incorporated parts of the original bathyscaphe and was completed in early 1964. The bathyscaphe was placed on board USNS Private Francis X. McGraw and shipped to Boston. Mizar did have a system called Underwater Tracking Equipment (UTE) by which it could track its towed vehicle, and it was planned for use to track Trieste. Before her departure from NRL in Washington, Mizar was equipped with highly sensitive proton magnetometers furnished by the instrument division of Varian Associates in Palo Alto. In use, the magnetometers were suspended on an electrical line that also towed underwater video cameras. Mizar sailed on 25 June to begin the deep search and found the wreck within two days. The shattered remains of Thresher's hull were on the sea floor, about 8,400 feet (2,600 m) below the surface, in five major sections. Most of the debris had spread over an area of about 1,440,000 square feet (134,000 m2). Major sections of Thresher, including the sail, sonar dome, bow section, engineering spaces section, operations spaces section, and the stern planes were found. By July 22, most of the lost submarine had been photographed. USS Thresher sunk uncontrollably due to a technical mishap. The inability to blow the ballast tanks was later attributed to excessive moisture in the submarine's high-pressure air flasks, moisture that froze and plugged the flasks' flowpaths while passing through the valves. This was later simulated in dockside tests on Thresher's sister sub, Tinosa. As for the USS Scorpion. Its sinking is more of mystery for unlike the USS Thresher which was in contact with surface vessels the Scorpion was on a mission surveilling Soviet subs. However the Scorpion too imploded and had it been torpedoed by a Soviet sub then the sub would have sunk intact and there would have been signs of an explosion where the torpedo hit. The USS Scorpion was found at the end of October 1968, the Navy's oceanographic research ship Mizar located sections of the hull of Scorpion on the seabed, about 400 nmi (740 km) southwest of the Azores under more than 9,800 ft (3,000 m) of water. This was after the Navy had released sound tapes from its underwater SOSUS listening system, which contained the sounds of the destruction of Scorpion. The court of inquiry was subsequently reconvened, and other vessels, including the bathyscaphe Trieste II, were dispatched to the scene to collect pictures and other data. Craven received much credit for locating the wreckage of Scorpion, although Gordon Hamilton was instrumental in defining a compact "search box" wherein the wreck was ultimately found. He was an acoustics expert who pioneered the use of hydroacoustics to pinpoint Polaris missile splashdown locations, and he had established a listening station in the Canary Islands, which obtained a clear signal of the vessel's pressure hull imploding as it passed crush depth. Naval Research Laboratory scientist Chester Buchanan used a towed camera sled of his own design aboard Mizar and finally located Scorpion. So your claim that Robert Ballard FOUND the wrecks of those two subs is false. But why was he then hired to dive down to those wrecks in 1985? The main reason was *environmental* . They both were nuclear subs and there was a serious concern radioactive material would leak out and cause a natural disaster. The Navy agreed it would finance his Titanic search only if he first investigated the two sunken submarines, and found out the state of their nuclear reactors after being submerged for such a long time, and whether their radioactivity was impacting the environment. Here's the thing: The Navy has not released an official report of whether radioactivity IS leaking from the subs but unofficially they are "fine". Underwater sea photography had also progressed quite a lot since the 1960's and they knew that Ballard with his new methods could take clear pictures of the wrecks which later could be studied by nuclear sub experts. The Scorpion was in such a bad shape it was as if it had gone through a giant shredder according to Ballard. However they did also check whether the wrecks have been "visited" and something removed. Thus far it looks like the (former) Soviets didn't even found the wrecks let alone visit them. It's always good to Google or Wiki any "good story" to learn the actual facts.

The Titanic had more lifeboats than was legally required at the time. The way the Titanic sank was not common, it took over two hours and the waters were incredibly calm. Usually ships capsize, too quickly to evacuate the passengers, and the ocean is so rocky that lifeboats just end up being smashed to pieces anyway. If a ship managed to stay afloat, the purpose of the lifeboats was to ferry passengers to a rescue ship, each boat doing several short trips. Before Titanic, no one foresaw the circumstances in which having enough lifeboat seats for everyone would have been useful.

Don't forget, during this time some people believed the ship did not break apart which was always a debate until the discovery.

There’s an interview with a survivor who said that they witnessed it break apart into two sections when sinking. Unfortunately, she wasn’t believed until the initial discovery.

@@Amanda-ri9wc Exactly, One of the reasons that happened is because a few other survivors claim the ship went down completely intact. It hurts hearing the truth so I guess people naturally wanted to take their side believing she didn't break.

@@shawnwhite3662 I've heard sexism was a big part of it, because most survivors were women they were deemed to be hysterical and their testimony couldn't be trusted, they believed a male survivor who didn't even actually witness the sinking over all the women who said they saw the ship break. Many survivors were actually convinced that what they had seen was false. Finding the wreck was extremely vindicating for many of the survivors and their families.

The French Co-leader of the 1985 expedition with Ballard, Jean-Louis Michel talked about raising it or having a proper tunnel system down to it for tourists, I think.

At the end of this when he says the SS Californian was only five miles away while the titanic sank, I believe it was more like twenty miles. Still, they ignored white distress flares under the assumption they were fireworks(never fully understood this). Also the wireless message operator just turned off the equipment at the end of his shift and nobody replaced him, so none of the distress signals were received. The ship that did come to the aid of the Titanic was the RMS Carpathia, which was something like 50-60 miles away when it received distress signals. They too tried to message SS Californian. The captain of the SS Californian stanely lord was never captain of a passenger ship again after that.

Red flares are a distress signal. Other colours were used as identifiers if ships were just showing their position to other ships. Titanic shot white flares so they wouldn't alarm the passengers. They also weren't being fired at the proper intervals to indicate distress (understandable considering how chaotic it must have been). So when the other ship saw the white flares being randomly shot off, nothing about them indicated distress. Maritime distress protocol changed after Titanic, and now all flares are to be considered distress signals.

@@alleycat-oy5kv i have never heard that before. Where did you get that from if you dont mind me asking? from what i have read distress signals were often white or red rockets, or combination of both colors. It was not unheard of for distress signals to be white, like titanics(which were intended as distress flares). I had however heard there were issues with the timing and coordination of the flares.

@@fintan9218 goodness, if only I could remember where I read that. You are right, that flares of all colours were used, but at the time there was a push to have a standardized colour specifically for distress. I might be wrong and it wasn't a fully embraced practice yet, but the white flares are known to have caused confusion.

Amazing to think that they found the Titanic on a mission to map a couple lost nuclear submarines. Most people assume Titanic was the mission, but it was a cover and not the Navy's focus. I think they had 12 days to find it after mapping the 2nd sub before they had to be back.

Ballard and the "Titanic seekers" needed help from the Navy to find Titanic. They got the help, in exchange for helping with Thresher and Scorpion. So there was kind of two groups with different goals joining forces for mutual benefit.

One moment of silence for the new victims near the Titanic's famous wreck.

It’s crazy to think it only took around 70 years to find the ship. More so, that the Titan was found in less than 7 days. Crazy how fast technology has come.

I really enjoy watching old footage like this. It was only 1985, I was 17, but it feels like it was long before I was around.

Would love to have the Cameron ROV's in 1985 to compare what the interiors looked like 20 years earlier. So many rooms intact in the 80's and maybe we could have seen the gym and the lounge before all the ceilings collapsed in the 2000's

She's being eaten by bacteria and fungi, chief among them Halomonas titanicae. Before she was found it was largely thought the bottom would be devoid of life, it's why Ballard also shows fish. That alone was remarkable. She'll be around a long time but if you look at the recent 3D scans you can see substantial deterioration. Still many said she'd be gone by now.
