New, high-definition images provide unexpected findings and negative updates to the RMS site TitanicFinal resting place. Released on September 2, these photos come from the first voyage and inspection of the salvor-in-accession company of the ship RMS Titanic, Inc. took place in more than 14 years. Obviously, the document confirms that one of the most beautiful parts of the ship has fallen in the 112 years it spent in the calm waters of the North Atlantic at a depth of one meter 12,500 below sea level.
More than 1,500 passengers and crew were on board Titanic died en route from Southampton, UK to New York City during the famous disaster on April 15, 1912. Although his exact whereabouts were a mystery for many years, an expedition led by Robert Ballard revealed that The luxury ship was exactly in the year 1985. Then, many researchers, experts, and tourists have repeatedly made dangerous journeys back to document the historical archeological sites. In 1994, a United States federal court awarded only RMS Titanic, Inc. the right to “salvage of property”, which designated the company as the only company authorized to recover the contents of the wreck. The group and its partners have organized eight tours so far, the most recent of which took place in 20 days in July.

According to an announcement on Monday, researchers collected more than “2 million of the highest quality images and videos to date” during their latest analysis. They also used LIDAR, sonar, and a hyper magnetometer to accurately map the ship and its wreckage—instruments used to penetrate metal-rich objects such as shipwrecks. It is with these tools that researchers have managed to move a particularly historic piece of history that many thought was long gone—the two-meter-tall bronze statue known as Diana of Versailles. . Depending on Titanic researcher James Penca, Diana of Versailles served as the center manager in the first passenger lounge which is considered to be the most beautiful and detailed place on the ship.
“But unfortunately, when Titanic split in two during the sinking, the cabin exploded. And in the chaos and destruction, Diana tore her cloak and fell into the darkness of the debris field,” Penca told him. BBC on August 1. The first (and last) seen during this 1986 trip, many experts thought that the sediments or the sea now scattered debris since covered the metal ore. Finding it again half buried in the ocean “was like finding a needle in a haystack,” Penca explained.
This new discovery also made the remains of the ship even stronger. One of theTitanic The most notable feature of the ruins is the long railroad that surrounds the Bow Projection—a scene that was also made famous in James Cameron’s 1997 film “King of the Earth.” According to images released this summer, however, a large part of the structure has broken off and fallen from the port side. Given previous travel documents, the group said this must have happened as recently as 2022.
“The discovery of Diana’s statue was an exciting time. But we are saddened by the loss of the beautiful Bow Rail and other evidence of decay,” RMS Titanic, Inc. General Manager Tomasina Ray said in a statement Monday.
Of course, time is not on the defenders’ side. Given the harsh ocean conditions and the destructive power of iron-eating bacteria, some observers believe that most of the Titanic can decay in just a few decades. That said, Ray explained that both the return of Diana of Versailles and the removal of the train “have made our commitment difficult to keep.” Titaniclegacy.”
