I was born in the 90s and grew up with the movie, I never thought about how or when the Titanic got discovered. Only now after the OceanGate incident that I realized how vast and dark the deep sea is. To see how these explorers found her with 80s technology, with blurred cameras and all that, is just out of this world.
Ocean exploration is older than what most people think. And it has been done with very rudimentary technology. The first somewhat accurate mapping of the ocean floor topography was made by using ropes and counting the length it took until the weight at the end reached the floor. They did that several times in an area and created maps
I like that they showed their respect to those 1500 men, women and children from across the world who died horrifically, freezing and terrified in the dark. This isn't just a tourist attraction, it's a memorial.
@Ellie5621 No one knew exactly where she sank; the Titanic’s reported position turned out to be in error by 13-1/2 miles. Jack Grimm’s expeditions to find the Titanic failed, despite the fact that he had good equipment. Bad weather and bad luck prevented Grimm from succeeding.
@@Ellie5621 It only would have moved a mater of feet from where they gave the distress point at (had it been right). It didnt drink aimlessly, most reported it being as still as if it were being swallowed up by the ground.
Love the whole story of how they found it. Most people don’t know it’s discovery was a cover up to go find our two missing subs. Rest in peace to those aboard rms titanic as well as our sailors lost aboard thresher and scorpion!
What great respect they showed. Initially joy of finding a lost piece of history, then the reality of a gravesite that had been unearthed in a sense. It's 2023, I think we're losing people of such great intelligence.
The discovery of the titanic regardless if it was a cover or not is so wholesome. Its so beautiful that not only did they get excited but they were able to shorten that excitement of discovery into a moment of silence and pay tribute and respects to the tragedy.
@@nflbleudollars4534 yeah, but getting the funding was not easy. It was a challenge and achievement as well. I don't see it as a bad thing that he was able to get what he needed especially since it was by persuasion. He wasn't the first as well. Christopher Columbus had to do the same thing.

I’ll never forget it-I was 15 years old and had been a Titanic buff since the age of 9. I remember the whole family being engrossed with the National Geographic article with Ballard’s photos when it was published shortly after he found the wreck. I didn’t think anyone would ever find it!
Here because of the miss submersible. It bewilders me that the wreckage is so deep that it is virtually like finding a needle in a haystack looking for this sub, BUT somehow 37 years ago, they were able to locate any kind of wreckage (nuclear sub or titanic wreck site) that deep on the ocean floor.
Well as the guy that found the subs and the titanic said. Dont look for big parts. Look for all small fragments and narrow the search down. Titan is very small. So even the fragments wont help to narrow it down. Thats what makes it a needle in the haystack.
Does anyone know this interesting Facts about Titanic? The Titanic's Owners Never Said the Ship Was "Unsinkable". Despite what James Cameron's iconic 1997 film may have you believe, but the owners never said that it could never sink. Historian Richard Howells said that "the population as a whole were unlikely to have thought of the Titanic as a unique, unsinkable ship before its maiden voyage."
I think that was said to heighten the dramatic effect and emphasize the tragedy , the entertaiment exaggeration, in reality everything failed at some point
The newspapers had called her unsinkable. There’s documented testimony from some of the Surviving crew saying that there were passengers who were refusing to get into the lifeboats saying this ship is unsinkable.
wow.i remember when it was on the news.that was such a cool story.here's a family story of my foster mom's mom. granny taylor was still in england.her oldest child n her husband were in canada.he had sent money to granny to buy tickets to canada. so granny n kids go to portsmouth to buy tickets. the shipping agent said ship to canada fully booked. you need to go on next ship.the ship fully booked was titanic. foster mom was born in canada.
I've always been extremely interested in the Titanic. I have never watched the film, nor was that how I discovered it existed. The history behind it has always been why I have loved to watch documentaries about it, even from a young age.
What if mighty T broke apart under water instead of on surface? The stern still water tight would have been more bouyant when tried to be pulled down by bow. Breaking on surface would have been from weight, Being pulled underwater would break from bouyancy.
Current theories have a combination of both factors being what happened. The bow had lost all buoyancy and the stern was still buoyant so the ship was torn in two by the forces.
I grew up reading about Dr. Ballard’s discovery of the Titanic. I can’t imagine what it felt lol to be at the exact spot where the ship went down and countless people lost their lives. I get chills just thinking about it. The Titanic is a graveyard and should be treated as such. It should not be a tourist attraction.
Ballard never discovered the Titanic, he was on a US military funded mission looking for two sunken submarines and came across the Titanic by accident, the ship was discovered in 1980 by the deep sea research vessel HMS Hecate
@@brainsandbeauty2832 It's important to clarify that the Titanic itself was not a cover story, of course. Everything happened pretty much as you've always heard. It was Robert Ballard's endeavor to find the Titanic that was a cover story. He was really looking for something else.
Why did he not bring just one item up from the depths and claim salvage rights to the Titanic? Then the ship could have been left in peace instead of being torn apart for "relics" to be sold on the open market by the French. Instead he placed a plaque. I find it very troubling.

Not many have guts to do endeavors like this. Ballard had an immense will to do it and got it.

Subs dont operate at 2 mile depth

Good job that they had the respect and sense to give the poor people a moment of silence

I've never seen such insurmountable proof that someone failed- and then to watch them say "let's try watching the currents" and then winning.

Kinda exaggeration of saying she is unsinkable

Captain Smith famously said he couldn't imagine how ANY modern ship could sink

Can they pull it up, then preserve it an history of titanic?
Nope. It will crumble the moment you raise even 1metre. It's been in salt water for almost 100+ years. Bacteria and other microorganisms already ate 70% of the Hull. Plus it's a grave site.
