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.
@@Jace-Briand i was not implying they could have found her with the technology of the day….only that it was a shame there WAS no technology to find her earlier.
Crazy to think that, since she sank, we had WWI, experienced a devastating flu pandemic, went through a great depression, experienced the rise of Hitler and Nazism, WWII, the cold war and space race, and both Korean and Vietnam wars. All the while, she was sleeping at the bottom of the ocean, in darkness, undisturbed.
And in late 1929, the Grand Banks earthquake, and apparently the Titanic wreck was within the area of affection, so I wonder what further damage was done to the wreck. Apparently the Olympic was sailing over the Atlantic during the quake, about 300 miles south of the Titanic wreck.
Haha I imagine it can be hard having to balance that, I love the choice you’ve made here. Makes me feel the wreck in a different and unique way; in your style and way. Again, thank you :) it’s dope
Wood on her decks still visible, the black paint on her hull still visible, her white paint on her hull still visible. Incredible. She will never be seen like this again…
The black and white paint can actually still be seen, especially on the port side of the bow. There’s also a lot of red paint on the two pieces of double bottom that are east of the main wreck area.
@@pho3nix- You can really see it on the wide shots/3D scans of the very front of the bow, it helps when you have large areas to look at. This particular video isn’t a great one for paint since they’re so close to the ship you can’t see that much.
@gamerxt333 I've seen the latest. It's still an extraordinary sight but there's clear deterioration since this footage was taken. The gymnasium has completely gone for example. The aft section of A deck has collapsed forward. The closed in screen along the remaining part of A deck has been completely eaten away leaving only the outer frame and her hull is bowing outward.
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.
Don't put those 5 spoiled abominations on the same level as the innocents who died on Titanic. Those mf-ers were looking for trouble, thinking that money can buy anything in life, they got what they more than deserved. No shred of sympathy for those.
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...
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
@@fartdonkey8290. …..sigh…..ships have been a ‘she’ since time immemorial. Back in the 90s the US Navy tried to change it because ‘secksism’ 🤨 but the uproar was so huge they changed it back right away. Didn’t even last a week. The only ship ever to be referred to as a ‘He’ was the KMS Bismarck, and that is out of respect to His Captain, Lindemann, who by all accounts was a decent person. if you saw the Bismarck you’d might agree. That beast was a King.
I was 26 when this was filmed and shown to the world. I was already a Titanic fanatic, and glued to the TV to watch this ! Everyone was amazed she was in an upright position as all the experts of the time previously said it would be highly unlikely she would land upright, at most certainly was laying on her side, or worse, upside down. Even her separated stern....landed upright. Amazing.
@@hanslanda58 What are you on about? It took longer to discover the Titanic than the Britannic, and their depth/deterioration rates are vastly different. Also consider that we named a then unknown bacteria AFTER the Titanic. Plus, the PSI rates at sea levels as low as the Titanic's final resting place is destroying the ship every single day. The Britannic is barely suffering any problems as it is almost entirely intact besides it's bow.
The ship looked so much better here than nowadays (obviously). Just looking at the crows nest and boat decks you can tell that so much has changed and the deterioration did its job. I just hope that we will still recognize the ship in 40 years.
I know it was just Jason Jr kicking up dust and whatnot, but when the white smokiness covered the screen, my heart wrenched like I was seeing the spirits of the people that perished with the Ship. Absolutely haunting footage, and astonishingly good quality for 1986 !!
Unfortunately, those travels contributed a lot in accelerating the erosion process because they helped to spread the contaminant bacteria that is consuming the steel to other parts of the wreck that still weren't very contaminated or not contaminated at all.
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.
If you'd had the ability to see it shortly after she sank, you also would have had to have seen the remains of many bodies around the wreck. It would have been a grisly sight.

@@McLarenMercedesit’s a fact that Titanic was the most luxurious ship of her time, it’s also a fact that as time has gone on things are not as aesthetically pleasing.

What gets me they are so zoomed in its hard to tell a lot of what you're seeing... sure we all know the main parts but i want to first see Titanic on the side of the ship. I know I've seen it before but can't find it again. That's what makes me eerie feeling and gives me major chills.
Can’t imagine the anticipation and hold breath those who were looking g through that screen the first sight of the Titanic since she sunk that fateful night. Must have been eery yet tranquil to examine what was left, overwhelming where to start on the research, and to do the best to keep in mind that this is also a grave for those lost from Titanic’s sinking. The deep dive into the history of the ship and the tales of those on board etched into the minds of those who first saw this footage.
Wow . I am in shock , watching this with the bedroom light 💡 off . Wow look at the detail of the Titanic !. To think that they her filmed this were the very first to see that majestic ship since April 15th 1912 . Amazing ❤
A glass bottle with an up right glass next to it is still stood on a unit which is also so eerie, cos not only is it still stood there after all the events of the sinking and crashing at the bottom of the ocean, but the glass would of been used by someone cos normally the glasses are left in a downward position before the guests settle in. It is surrounded by the little wooden barrier which is what would of protected it. ruclips.net/user/shortsvvhQMm9Hjmk?si=FIGoviPv4Y_RR-TQ
It is a light fixture that once was on the ceiling over time after the sinking and hitting the sea floor the lights came loose and hung from the wiring like that. In all likelihood in the nearly 40 years since 1986 the wire probably rusted through and the light finally fell. In area of the ship like the promenade deck something similar happened with overhead piping it rusted and fell. Of course this is they way of all things eventually everything fades away.
The front railing at her bow has fallen off now, reported last week. The most iconic and recognisable part of the ship, no doubt. A real sign she is disappearing.
Imagine, how she must have felt, knowing she had been found, all those dark lonely years to finally have lights upon her....and the souls too, how they must feel to know someone a TEAM was still looking for her. Imagine, it's not hard to, have your hopes answered that you weren't forgotten....
Some parts of the ship that were shown here are completely gone by now. Were it not for the knife shaped hull, i don't think we would be able to recognize her anymore.
Well it’s not as bad, most of what can be seen here is still recognizable on the wreck today, but it’s true, she’s disappearing pretty quickly. Sadly she’s collapsing under her own weight so more and more rooms will get crushed, like the captain’s quarters, which were fully intact in this footage and are now mostly gone, same with the 1st class gymnasium.
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.
Just imagine if they had the technology back then to go down the weeks after the sinking and see the condition it was in then free from all the impacts of the elements 🤯
Since the position of the sinking was incorrect they would have spent years trying to find her even if they somehow had had the technology. Other expeditions had used sonar on the area Titanic was supposed to have sunk at and found nothing. Neither would Ballard in 1985 but he developed a technique based on the large field of debris usually surrounding a sunken vessel. He discovered this while surveying the wrecks of the nuclear submarines USS Thresher and USS Scorpion. This is btw how he got his hands on advanced deep sea cameras and sonars. If you're so interested in seeing how recently sunken ships look like at the bottom of the sea there is plenty of modern day footage. One is from merely a month after the cruiseferry M/S Estonia sank in 1994 (852 dead) in which the divers enter the bridge, hallways and even cabins of the sunken ship. Beware, in some footage you can see blurry shapes of bodies... Most of those have been taken down but a few remain. The SS Andrea Doria was in pretty good shape after her sinking in 1956. Tons of divers have visited her. 18 divers have actually *died* while diving in the wreck over the years.
I was watching this the other day and began to weep. I don't know if it was the music combined with the footage or just the mood I was in but emotion just swept over me as I watched these images of this once beautiful ship that carried with it so many hopes and dreams. This ship and her story has gripped my imagination and my heart since I was 5 and it always will.
Love getting enraptured in this slow, patient shots and the music when suddenly its time to sell me Lee jeans, because that's how you get me to buy things: interrupt what I actually want to enjoy.
Sad to se how fast she has changed since then from this footage to how she looks today ,rapidly to the brink that they say she will collapse anytime soon ...😞
Blows my mind that for 79 years it sat at the bottom of the ocean in such good condition but 40 years of explorations has made it worsen.. divers are damaging it that bad?
It’s 2 1/2 miles deep. Next time get in your car and watch 2 1/2 miles on the clock . It takes a sub 2 hours to get there. That is a lot of water pressure and weight on that metal and for 110 years give or take. Then the fact that heavy ship fell 2 1/2 miles into a sea floor where light and sound is zero , a total abyss . The fact it still exists and is recognizable, goes to show you mankind in 1912 really built some solid things.
It wasnt in such a good condition to begin with. 40 years is more than half of 79 years and in total, the ship has been down there for 112 years, no shit its deteriorating at a quick pace.
They fund both parts in 1985 the dove to the bow section first because they knew from the discovery footage that the stern was very badly damaged and due to time and costs they made the first dive in Alvin on the bow.
112 years... two world wars, pandemics, man's arrival on the moon, cold war, rise and fall of the usrr, more wars, currently AI... and she still there, resting in the depths of the ocean
Be realistic. I'm willing to bet the designer and builders (had they lived until 1985) would have disagreed. While your rabid fascination has swayed your mind and clouded your judgement. A ship torn apart in two pieces which took a severe beating as it collapsed on the sea floor can't be called just as beautiful as the whole, intact ship above water full of people.
That is impossible all things eventually fall apart this is unavoidable and eventually everything will fade away. One day the sun will run out of Hydrogen gas and die. Better to accept it.
This is terrifying to watch, so horror. Thinking how people would have screamed on the railing, and those floors, under the hanging chandeliers.. luxury rooms, its sad very sad.
It is so sad to realise how much this once luxurious ship is deteriorating. But I can't help but wonder what could be revealed underneath as she disappears slowly. The un-seen deep depths within her.
The RMS Titanic may it rest in peace 🫡 what a good ship it was, man, the people who survived, imagine the horrors of seeing the Olympic/sister ship of the titanic
How incredible is it that something man-made exists so deep down in our untraversable ocean, quiet, lost and alone. Doomed to disappear one day, like all of us are, but allowed to do so in relative peace, the only thing capable of harming it unable to visit easily enough to be a real disturbance. Quietly waiting to pass away, her and all the souls she harbored, and the five new ones she took on little more than a year ago. From the day I learned of her to the day I die I will be hopelessly besotted with the tragic story of humanity told by this wreck. It is my fondest wish that I might visit her one day, despite my terrible fear of the water and the impossible price of the trip.
i always believed the human interference had deteriorated the titanic much more. they literally landed on the deck damaging it and notice how the place where the subs landed have holes today.
Even though it is completely destroyed, it is still 100 times more beautiful in its current condition than anything we make today. What a mesmerizing ship.
Not to take anything away from Titanic or any other shipwrecks, but I would like to see the discovery of the wreck of the Achille Lauro and see what has become of her at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
Imagine being some poor crab or star fish, minding your own business on the ocean floor, and all the sudden this god damn thing is landing on your head!! Talk about bad luck.

Taking into account how the ship has detereorated since this, imagine the details that we never saw in the wreck when she had just sink.
I can only imagine how eerie this must have felt, seeing this so far down for the first time since 1912.
The first 5 minutes were 1985 footage, not from Alvin, but from the Argo towed ROV sled.
I got this on video from National Geographic back in 1988. I also had the book that Dr Ballard wrote about this dive.
Was that the book with the blue/turquoise cover?? I’ve been looking for that for years!! I had it in the very early 1990s and lost it!!
Some parts of the ship that were shown here are completely gone by now. Were it not for the knife shaped hull, i don't think we would be able to recognize her anymore.
Well it’s not as bad, most of what can be seen here is still recognizable on the wreck today, but it’s true, she’s disappearing pretty quickly. Sadly she’s collapsing under her own weight so more and more rooms will get crushed, like the captain’s quarters, which were fully intact in this footage and are now mostly gone, same with the 1st class gymnasium.
i hope someone is eventually able to a 4k upscale of this footage. must be preserved at the highest quality!
I was just born when this happened. Wow, amazing video
It'd be neat if someone could calculate a rate of decay back to 1912 and AI a wreckage video time-lapsed from the sinking.
Sad how much Titanic has deteriorated since.
Not sad. It is good to see it reduce to a shapeless mass of iron ore. BTW iron fertilizes the ocean.
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.
She's been on the bottom of the ocean 2 miles down in freezing water.
That's just a fact.
@@beakytwitch7905Geez. That's a bit cold.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 don't forget at that depth, the pressure would crush you like an empty beer can.
Just imagine if they had the technology back then to go down the weeks after the sinking and see the condition it was in then free from all the impacts of the elements 🤯
Since the position of the sinking was incorrect they would have spent years trying to find her even if they somehow had had the technology. Other expeditions had used sonar on the area Titanic was supposed to have sunk at and found nothing. Neither would Ballard in 1985 but he developed a technique based on the large field of debris usually surrounding a sunken vessel. He discovered this while surveying the wrecks of the nuclear submarines USS Thresher and USS Scorpion. This is btw how he got his hands on advanced deep sea cameras and sonars.
If you're so interested in seeing how recently sunken ships look like at the bottom of the sea there is plenty of modern day footage. One is from merely a month after the cruiseferry M/S Estonia sank in 1994 (852 dead) in which the divers enter the bridge, hallways and even cabins of the sunken ship. Beware, in some footage you can see blurry shapes of bodies... Most of those have been taken down but a few remain.
The SS Andrea Doria was in pretty good shape after her sinking in 1956. Tons of divers have visited her. 18 divers have actually *died* while diving in the wreck over the years.
I was watching this the other day and began to weep. I don't know if it was the music combined with the footage or just the mood I was in but emotion just swept over me as I watched these images of this once beautiful ship that carried with it so many hopes and dreams. This ship and her story has gripped my imagination and my heart since I was 5 and it always will.
Something unnerving about this footage, I have goosebumps watching it!
Love getting enraptured in this slow, patient shots and the music when suddenly its time to sell me Lee jeans, because that's how you get me to buy things: interrupt what I actually want to enjoy.
Sad to se how fast she has changed since then from this footage to how she looks today ,rapidly to the brink that they say she will collapse anytime soon ...😞
@8:23 big ups to whoever installed that chandelier
Blows my mind that for 79 years it sat at the bottom of the ocean in such good condition but 40 years of explorations has made it worsen.. divers are damaging it that bad?
It wasn’t in “good condition”. It’s been rusting away since day 1.
It’s 2 1/2 miles deep. Next time get in your car and watch 2 1/2 miles on the clock . It takes a sub 2 hours to get there. That is a lot of water pressure and weight on that metal and for 110 years give or take. Then the fact that heavy ship fell 2 1/2 miles into a sea floor where light and sound is zero , a total abyss . The fact it still exists and is recognizable, goes to show you mankind in 1912 really built some solid things.
It wasnt in such a good condition to begin with. 40 years is more than half of 79 years and in total, the ship has been down there for 112 years, no shit its deteriorating at a quick pace.
@@christopherwaits7852Exactly, its rusting away faster and faster as time goes on.
Its so fragile that even with jasons propeller pressure the fragments are falling
The amount oof deterioration over the first 70 or so years compared to the last 40 is astounding. It's going quick.
Stockon Rush should have taken notes from this.
It's a shame they didn't find the other part of the Titanic at that point. Now we would have had footage of the second part in better condition.
The second part was always in terrible condition, it literally imploded on the way down
They fund both parts in 1985 the dove to the bow section first because they knew from the discovery footage that the stern was very badly damaged and due to time and costs they made the first dive in Alvin on the bow.
Pity that Ballard didn't claim salvage rights under martial law. Titanic is a grave and should be respected as such.
112 years... two world wars, pandemics, man's arrival on the moon, cold war, rise and fall of the usrr, more wars, currently AI... and she still there, resting in the depths of the ocean
I remember this I was in 3rd grade
Must of been an amazing feeling watching this live!!!
Even though after 74 yrs - you could still see details in some of the structures which are now 112 yrs later practically gone.
She looked just as beautiful the day we lost her.
Be realistic. I'm willing to bet the designer and builders (had they lived until 1985) would have disagreed. While your rabid fascination has swayed your mind and clouded your judgement.
A ship torn apart in two pieces which took a severe beating as it collapsed on the sea floor can't be called just as beautiful as the whole, intact ship above water full of people.
@@McLarenMercedes
Bro what
@@McLarenMercedes Beauty is subjective. You’re quite insufferable, aren’t ya, little guy?
Please be serious
@@hamishwatson2864
No
Man i wish it was still in the same condition as back when we found it
That is impossible all things eventually fall apart this is unavoidable and eventually everything will fade away. One day the sun will run out of Hydrogen gas and die. Better to accept it.
@@tristanholland6445 yeah no fucking shit bro
3:28 looks to me that section of railing they're talking about now being gone, was missing back then or am I seeing it wrong?
Please can you share the music you used. Its quite beautiful
Shazam says it is - exploration the ambient composer
This is terrifying to watch, so horror. Thinking how people would have screamed on the railing, and those floors, under the hanging chandeliers.. luxury rooms, its sad very sad.
Beautiful music
12:34 - what is it? Why it's so clean and in accurate shape?
I double the question
Democrats
It is so sad to realise how much this once luxurious ship is deteriorating. But I can't help but wonder what could be revealed underneath as she disappears slowly. The un-seen deep depths within her.
Ashame to see how much the ship is deteriorating now
A shadow of its former self maybe, But the legend still grows.
Ballard should have recovered an item and claimed salvage rights. I trust he would have protected the wreck better than it has been.
film from 1986!?! i can not believe it!
if only they had the ability to locate and bring this beautiful ship to the surface soon after the sinking that would've been a true marvel in 1912
The RMS Titanic may it rest in peace 🫡 what a good ship it was, man, the people who survived, imagine the horrors of seeing the Olympic/sister ship of the titanic
I remember watching this on tv❤❤
In the last 40 years, she really has deteriorated a lot. Back then she wasn't collapsing yet, had less rusticles, and was completely untouched.
Imagine You Were Sleeping Here
Terrifying
Before WWII TITANIC: 👁️👄👁️
After WWII TITANIC: 👁️👄👁️
Only the rich ever had a chance of getting off board as she went down. RIP.
Lovely music in this video, well up to 13:30 anyway.
Amazing footage !!
2:36 that railing is gone now 😢
Will they do a memorial dive for the new wreckage Titanic Mini?
Sadly from what ive heard where Alvin laid is no longer able to hold a sub on the roof of the officer quarters
How incredible is it that something man-made exists so deep down in our untraversable ocean, quiet, lost and alone. Doomed to disappear one day, like all of us are, but allowed to do so in relative peace, the only thing capable of harming it unable to visit easily enough to be a real disturbance. Quietly waiting to pass away, her and all the souls she harbored, and the five new ones she took on little more than a year ago.
From the day I learned of her to the day I die I will be hopelessly besotted with the tragic story of humanity told by this wreck. It is my fondest wish that I might visit her one day, despite my terrible fear of the water and the impossible price of the trip.
It’s incredible to see this condition
i always believed the human interference had deteriorated the titanic much more. they literally landed on the deck damaging it and notice how the place where the subs landed have holes today.
Robert Ballard, at one point, suggested she be given a coat of fresh paint to slow the corrosion rate... wish someone had taken him up on it.
@@nicholasrhodes4550 oh yea. I remember
They didn’t hand on it, that would cause catastrophic collapse.
@@nicholasrhodes4550 Painting underwater could be done?
Even as she sits at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean deteriorating within her watery grave she is still so beautiful.
Even though it is completely destroyed, it is still 100 times more beautiful in its current condition than anything we make today.
What a mesmerizing ship.
Not to take anything away from Titanic or any other shipwrecks, but I would like to see the discovery of the wreck of the Achille Lauro and see what has become of her at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
I can almost imagine what it would have felt like to place a hand on that railing.
Always been a fan of ships and of course titanic, great video, what song is that though? works well
Before it was disturbed & plundered...
We need to remind people of her somehow
Well we had to bring things up it’s called preserving. You must hate museums
@@jarrodbushyhead It’s a grave & it’s called ‘look but don’t touch’
@@tomsmalley8899 it’s not a grave no body’s are there you must hate museums then. Reported you for terrorism
@@tomsmalley8899there are literally no bodies left. Just boots and shoes. It is doing no harm to bring back artifacts for preservation.
At 4:30mins you can see a ghost like figure on the top left

Beautiful!!!
Imagine being some poor crab or star fish, minding your own business on the ocean floor, and all the sudden this god damn thing is landing on your head!! Talk about bad luck.
Imagine being a crab living in the Titanic and having no idea how special this ship is.
To bad he filmed it in black /white , I do remember he filmed in colour also
The black and white camera was able to pick up more of the wreck since it was underwater. Sorta like a night vison camera ig
