Photos of the Titanic Wreck When It Was First Discovered in 1985
The Titanic disappeared in 1912, yet decades had passed before the discovery of its wreckage. After many years of searching, it wasn't until Sept. 1, 1985 that scientists were able to find what they were looking for.
Two of Titanic's engines were exposed in a gaping cross section of the stern. Draped in "rusticles"—orange stalactites made by iron-eating bacteria. These massive structures, four stories tall, once powered the largest moving man-made object on Earth.

With her rudder splitting the sand and two propeller blades peeking amidst the murkiness, Titanic's mangled stern lies on the abyssal plain, 1,970 feet south of the more photographed bow. This optical mosaic fuses 300 high-resolution images taken on a 2010 expedition.

A pair of shoes are suggestive evidence of where a victim of the Titanic disaster who came to rest. While the visible remains of the victim have disappeared, it probably is just lying in close proximity.

The remains of a coat and boots, articulated in the mud on the sea bed near Titanic's stern, are suggestive evidence of where a victim of the disaster came to rest.

ReplyDeleteIt was sad, so sad.
It was sad, so sad.
It was sad when the great ship went down (to the bottom of the....)
Uncles and aunts, little children lost their pants.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
These are pictures of R.M.S. Olympic.
ReplyDeleteI hear that the color of the under coating paint is wrong.
I hear that the repairs made to Olympic's keel are visible and verified
by other submersible pictures.
Look it up. Do a little research.
The ‘Titanic’ that sunk was really the sister ship, the Olympia. The Olympia was in a collision with a British cruiser that warped its ship-shape hull and it was no longer able to cruise efficiently. So they changed the names and collected the insurance money on it. On board on this ship’s ‘maiden’ voyage was the elite who opposed the introduction of the Rothschild owned Federal Reserve Bank. Shortly afterwards, the IRS was created. The Rothschild have been printing money out of thin air and loaning it to the USA gov. with interest. We taxpayers have been paying it back with real money ever since and the Rothschilds and their buddies have become super rich based on our hard work.
