Undersea explorers reveal new images of the Titanic wreckage for the first time in almost 15 years.
For the first time in 14 years, a manned dive has visited the RMS Titanic at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean.
The last manned dive to the Titanic was in 2005, and this latest expedition was led by Victor Vescovo, an American private equity investor and retired naval officer who is the founder of exploration company Caladan Oceanic, Titanic historian Parks Stephenson, Rob McCallum, founder of specialist tour operator EYOS Expeditions, and a technical team from Triton Submarines.
"Captain's bath tub is a favorite image among the Titanic enthusiasts, and that's now gone," Stephenson said in a statement Wednesday."That whole deck hole on that side is collapsing taking with it the staterooms, and the deterioration is going to continue advancing." Lori Johnson, one of the scientists of the expedition, said the rate of deterioration will speed up as natural types of bacteria work"symbiotically" to eat away the iron and sulphur.
