Rare Titanic footage from pioneering 1986 dive reveals glimpses of doomed liner
The Guardian
|February 16, 2023
Haunting footage of the wreck of the RMS Titanic, taken during the pioneering 1986 expedition that gave the first glimpses of the doomed ocean liner since it sank on its maiden voyage in 1912, was released yesterday.
The cache of more than 80 minutes of rare and mostly unseen video comes from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) of Massachusetts, which partnered with French explorers in the discovery of the ship's remains. The release commemorates the 25th anniversary and reissue of the blockbuster movie Titanic, whose director and writer, James Cameron, continues to support Titanic research.
The Titanic sank on 14 April 1912 after striking an iceberg, with more than 1,500 lives lost, in one of the deadliest and most significant maritime disasters in history.
