There hasn’t been a Titanic dive in 14 years, so it will give a new, picture-perfect look at the current condition of the site, plus discover some cool new artifacts for future recovery.
The highly specialized ship will sail 964 nautical miles from Louisiana to Providence, Rhode Island where the crew will embark for this complex project.
A fleet of sophisticated subsea systems from C-Innovation, the leading experts in the field of ROVs, will operate the dive.
Those icicle-like growths you see in photos (“rusticles”)? They’re the result of a metal-eating bacteria called Halomonas titanicae. These hungry bacteria will continue to feed, eventually overtaking the entire site one day.
The “last voice of Titanic“—it’s the famed Wireless Marconi Telegraph Machine, notorious for sending the Ship’s final distress messages.
