Underwater excursion to the "Titanic"
Titanic, the legendary sunken ship April 15, 1912, was discovered in 1985 by Robert Ballaro and Jean Louis Michel, and then from 1987 to 2007 a specially created company "Rsm Titanic Inc." sent to the ocean liner seven expeditions.
Over the past 19 years the body of the Titanic suffered serious damage, the cause of which was the not seawater, but souvenir hunters who gradually stolen the remains of the ship. For example, the ship disappeared masted ship's bell or the lighthouse. In addition to direct damage to the plundering of the ship does time and the action of bacteria, leaving behind only the rusty ruins.
You also have a chance to look at the ship in the form in which it was opened 24 years ago Ballaro eyes of Robert and Jean Louis Michel.

3) The light illuminates the bathyscaphe Mir 2 left bower on the foredeck of the sunken Titanic.
4) In the early morning hours of September 1 1985 oceanographer Robert Ballard and photographer Emory Kristof found and photographed the remains of the Titanic.

6) bathyscaphe Mir-1 covers the railing on the Titanic.
7) Ceramic cup and debris from the "Titanic" lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland.
8) Detail of the hull on the ocean floor.
9) The hole in the right side of the hull - the cause of which is likely to become a clash of "Titanic" with an iceberg April 14, 1912. From this blow the ship split in two and sank, killing 1, 5 thousand people.
