1
00:00:07,274 --> 00:00:11,343
Titanic, theworld's most famous ship.
2
00:00:12,313 --> 00:00:18,150
Sunk over 100 years agoand rediscovered in 1985.
3
00:00:19,854 --> 00:00:24,923
She fascinates like no other wreck
and still has secrets to reveal.
4
00:00:25,026 --> 00:00:28,060
there's sometimes about
this story that grips people.
5
00:00:28,162 --> 00:00:31,463
Everybody finds something
in this disaster,
6
00:00:31,565 --> 00:00:35,167
it's so varied and so
all encompassing.
7
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:40,639
it's nearly 15 years since
anyone dived down to see Titanic.
8
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:43,976
The world is anxious to know
what's happened to her.
9
00:00:44,078 --> 00:00:46,578
there could be a couple
of major portions of the Titanic
10
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,414
that might have collapsed.
11
00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:54,820
now, a new expedition
is heading for the wreck site.
12
00:00:54,922 --> 00:00:56,121
okay, good to go.
13
00:00:56,223 --> 00:00:58,357
good to go.
14
00:00:58,459 --> 00:01:03,328
world leading experts armed
with state of the art technology.
15
00:01:03,431 --> 00:01:05,264
we'll send this
bad boy to the bottom.
16
00:01:05,366 --> 00:01:08,033
it's a race against
time to answer questions.
17
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:10,069
okay, Tom
last check.
18
00:01:10,171 --> 00:01:12,271
Roger that.
19
00:01:12,373 --> 00:01:16,175
and preserve Titanic
for future generations.
20
00:01:16,277 --> 00:01:17,609
- two minutes.
- Two minutes.
21
00:01:17,711 --> 00:01:19,411
beforeit's too late.
22
00:01:19,513 --> 00:01:21,346
let's go
back to Titanic.
23
00:01:21,449 --> 00:01:24,383
prepare to dive.
Prepare to dive.
24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,074

25
00:01:35,996 --> 00:01:38,597
better draw up
all stations bridge.
26
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:42,868
eta over the wreck is
approximately ten minutes from now.
27
00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:47,239
the team is arriving
at the Titanic wreck site.
28
00:01:47,341 --> 00:01:51,877
the ship lies three miles down in
the icy depths of the north Atlantic ocean.
29
00:02:01,088 --> 00:02:02,788
okay so
welcome everyone.
30
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:05,424
We wanted to meet this
afternoon to go over
31
00:02:05,526 --> 00:02:09,294
the dive plans for the
next two days,
32
00:02:09,396 --> 00:02:10,796
so you have two pieces
of paper.
33
00:02:10,898 --> 00:02:13,565
the team gathersto go over their mission.
34
00:02:13,667 --> 00:02:18,537
A plan to carry out a series of dives
to Titanic over the coming week.
35
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,739
the first thing I'm gonna do
when I get down to the bottom is,
36
00:02:20,841 --> 00:02:22,608
as I mentioned, I'm gonna
just go thrusters off
37
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:25,010
and I'm gonna see
what the drift is.
38
00:02:25,112 --> 00:02:28,313
Victor vescovo has
put this expedition together.
39
00:02:28,415 --> 00:02:30,616
there could be a couple
of major portions of Titanic
40
00:02:30,718 --> 00:02:32,484
that might have collapsed.
41
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:36,155
Most people are interested in the bow,
because the bow is still quite discernible
42
00:02:36,257 --> 00:02:38,924
as the bow of the Titanic
and I am hopeful
43
00:02:39,026 --> 00:02:44,129
that it hasn't significantly
collapsed, which would be unfortunate.
44
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,270
nobody has dived down
to Titanic in nearly 15 years.
45
00:02:51,372 --> 00:02:56,475
So Victor's major concern is what may have
happened since she was last examined.
46
00:02:56,577 --> 00:03:01,013
from the first time this wreck
was seen in 1985 with each expedition,
47
00:03:01,115 --> 00:03:03,315
we've observed the
condition of the wreck.
48
00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:05,918
Victor has gathered
world leading experts,
49
00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:08,520
to ensure this missionis a success,
50
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:12,157
including Titanic specialist,
parks stephenson.
51
00:03:12,259 --> 00:03:16,128
I've always seen
the wreck as truly
52
00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:19,031
the last surviving witness
to the disaster,
53
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:21,166
almost like a crime scene.
54
00:03:21,268 --> 00:03:22,834
well, that
one will be fine.
55
00:03:22,937 --> 00:03:26,305
I'm just gonna-i have to get dimensions
of the first platform that we have,
56
00:03:26,407 --> 00:03:28,740
- but I'm pretty sure that it
won't fit in there. - Yeah.
57
00:03:28,842 --> 00:03:33,245
microbial ecologist Lori johnston
is another key member of the team.
58
00:03:33,347 --> 00:03:38,283
She's responsible for collecting
important data on the wreck's condition.
59
00:03:38,385 --> 00:03:42,788
from '98, I was able to dive
on Titanic six different times.
60
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:46,024
The last time I personally
saw it was 2005.
61
00:03:46,126 --> 00:03:49,761
So it'll be very interesting to
see the amount of deterioration.
62
00:03:52,433 --> 00:03:54,399
okay, Roger that, can
you confirm the connectors?
63
00:04:00,608 --> 00:04:03,308
this is the deep submergence
vehicle. The limiting factor.
64
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:06,979
It's the deepest diving
submersible in the whole world
65
00:04:07,081 --> 00:04:11,450
and she is an absolute
wonderful sub and a beast.
66
00:04:11,552 --> 00:04:13,018
She is so tough.
67
00:04:13,721 --> 00:04:18,156
the limiting factor was specially
designed by the team for missions like this.
68
00:04:18,259 --> 00:04:20,926
okay, Tom, last check,
we're gonna just have Tim,
69
00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:22,995
or maybe you can just
secure your own hatch.
70
00:04:23,097 --> 00:04:25,497
Roger that.
Securing hatch.
71
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:29,134
when Victor isn't piloting
the sub, Patrick lahey will be.
72
00:04:29,236 --> 00:04:33,405
okay, Tim. First thing is the
pressure hull which is made of titanium.
73
00:04:33,507 --> 00:04:38,010
Hull's about 90 mm thick, which is
three and a half inches in thickness
74
00:04:38,112 --> 00:04:40,245
and it has three view ports.
75
00:04:40,347 --> 00:04:43,949
Two that are on the top
looking out through the port
76
00:04:44,051 --> 00:04:46,018
and starboard sides and
then one lower view port
77
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,455
that gives you a great view of
the areas on the sea floor.
78
00:04:50,557 --> 00:04:52,457
- good.
- Turning starboard.
79
00:04:59,033 --> 00:05:00,699
I mean everything
is so tight, you know,
80
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:03,335
everything is in
tight corners.
81
00:05:03,437 --> 00:05:08,006
the team's fitting the sub
with a super high resolution 4k camera.
82
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:11,343
It's been specially commissioned
for this mission to film the wreck
83
00:05:11,445 --> 00:05:13,912
in the bestdefinition possible.
84
00:05:14,014 --> 00:05:16,515
It's big, but delicate.
85
00:05:16,617 --> 00:05:20,252
having this camera here means that
we're gonna have to be very very careful.
86
00:05:20,354 --> 00:05:23,522
It's gonna make it a lot more
difficult for the launch and recovery
87
00:05:23,624 --> 00:05:25,490
and we're gonna have to be
really really careful.
88
00:05:25,592 --> 00:05:26,892
Really careful.
89
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:33,665
so the hazards are, you
know, we are going deep,
90
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:37,002
and the fact that we're diving
around a human made object,
91
00:05:37,104 --> 00:05:43,575
we're around a wreck structure
with potentially strong current.
92
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:50,315
This wreck has been down there for 107
years, so it's inherently unstable
93
00:05:50,417 --> 00:05:55,854
and she lies across the current which
is running up to two knots at a time.
94
00:05:55,956 --> 00:06:00,826
diving around a wreck presents
a unique set of risks and concerns.
95
00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:03,662
The primary one being
entanglement, you know,
96
00:06:03,764 --> 00:06:06,465
a wreck can have
things like ropes
97
00:06:06,567 --> 00:06:10,702
and obstructions and things of that nature,
that present a hazard to the craft.
98
00:06:10,804 --> 00:06:15,507
the idea is to go here and then
we'll come up here and pretty much, I mean,
99
00:06:15,609 --> 00:06:19,177
everyone has told me not to get too
close and to be extremely careful,
100
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,380
because there are
still wires.
101
00:06:21,482 --> 00:06:23,815
the success ofthe first dive is vital.
102
00:06:23,917 --> 00:06:26,818
It will allow the teamto plot additional dives.
103
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,989
Failure and the expeditioncould end abruptly.
104
00:06:31,091 --> 00:06:33,024
cool. If no one's
got any questions,
105
00:06:33,127 --> 00:06:39,598
then our next gig is 6:45 up on
the foredeck tomorrow morning.
106
00:06:43,771 --> 00:06:47,139
preparation is over.
Tomorrow, the team will attempt
107
00:06:47,241 --> 00:06:50,342
to dive to the mostfamous ship in history.
108
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:05,590
weather conditions now are worse
than they were on the forecast yesterday.
109
00:07:07,795 --> 00:07:11,129
the first dive is due to
be launching in less than an hour.
110
00:07:14,668 --> 00:07:16,835
But conditionsaren't looking good.
111
00:07:18,038 --> 00:07:20,672
The crew's havingto secure equipment.
112
00:07:20,774 --> 00:07:23,742
so, the biggest waves you can see
coming through now are probably four,
113
00:07:23,844 --> 00:07:26,912
four and a half meters
which is pretty much double
114
00:07:27,014 --> 00:07:30,482
the maximum limit to
operate the sub.
115
00:07:41,895 --> 00:07:43,628
so, you called it.
116
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:45,564
it's not a nice decision to
make and no one wants to make it,
117
00:07:45,666 --> 00:07:48,834
- but it's the one that needs to be made so.
- Yeah, I agree.
118
00:07:48,936 --> 00:07:50,235
Do the people
downstairs know?
119
00:07:54,408 --> 00:07:56,475
the firstlaunch is aborted.
120
00:07:56,577 --> 00:08:00,812
If the bad weather doesn't pass soon,
the entire mission will be in jeopardy.
121
00:08:01,582 --> 00:08:03,715
let's go down in mission control,
just to announce it to everybody.
122
00:08:12,292 --> 00:08:15,994
- okay, good to go.
- Good to go.
123
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:19,064
next morning, there's
a break in the weather.
124
00:08:19,166 --> 00:08:20,765
setting five minutes.
125
00:08:20,868 --> 00:08:22,167
five
minutes, okey doke.
126
00:08:30,244 --> 00:08:32,043
the dive is on.
127
00:08:32,579 --> 00:08:36,248
we're going
to the Titanic.
128
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:37,949
Weather's not bad.
129
00:08:38,085 --> 00:08:40,218
It was rougher last night, I thought it
was gonna be kind of rough this morning,
130
00:08:40,287 --> 00:08:44,689
but it's laid down a bit, so I'm comfortable
with this, we can launch in this.
131
00:08:44,791 --> 00:08:46,858
We'll send this bad
boy to the bottom.
132
00:08:47,995 --> 00:08:52,197
this will be the first
ever solo dive to Titanic.
133
00:08:52,299 --> 00:08:54,299
- two minutes.
- Two minutes.
134
00:09:04,311 --> 00:09:07,279
good luck, Victor.
Say hello to the old girl.
135
00:09:07,381 --> 00:09:10,782
I will. Let's
go back to Titanic.
136
00:09:23,096 --> 00:09:26,064
you're clear to
dive, clear to dive.
137
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:27,365
Roger that,
lf is clear to dive,
138
00:09:27,467 --> 00:09:30,068
I've got a green board,
pumps are now in.
139
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:43,515
it will take Victor one and a
half hours to reach Titanic's depth.
140
00:09:43,617 --> 00:09:46,551
as you drop,
light starts to fade,
141
00:09:46,653 --> 00:09:49,254
hazy greenish at first and
then gives way to black,
142
00:09:49,356 --> 00:09:52,824
black, black, until
it's pure black.
143
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:55,727
There's nothing
really much to see.
144
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:58,163
So you descend
into blackness.
145
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:09,741
the wreck is nearly three
miles down where extreme water pressure
146
00:10:09,843 --> 00:10:13,945
will push the sub and camera
technology to the very limit.
147
00:10:16,483 --> 00:10:21,386
surface lf, present
depth one one two zero
148
00:10:21,488 --> 00:10:25,523

149
00:10:25,626 --> 00:10:30,028
Roger lf, understand
your depth is one one two.
150
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:34,666
4k cameras have seldom filmed so
deep before and even if this one survives
151
00:10:34,768 --> 00:10:37,769
the journey, what willbe left to film?
152
00:10:48,749 --> 00:10:56,221
surface lf present depth

153
00:10:56,323 --> 00:10:58,690

154
00:10:58,792 --> 00:11:02,527
the first man dive in
nearly 15 years is underway,
155
00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:06,398
to the world's mostfamous ship, Titanic.
156
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:11,703
if we arrive on site and the light
starts to reveal massive collapse,
157
00:11:11,772 --> 00:11:16,408
either like I'm
predicting, or even worse,
158
00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:19,911
I'm sure there's gonna be
an instance of regret.
159
00:11:25,585 --> 00:11:29,154
Titanic was the most
luxurious liner in the world.
160
00:11:29,256 --> 00:11:33,158
When she set sail in April1912, heading for New York,
161
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:39,397
over 2000 passengersand crew were on board.
162
00:11:39,499 --> 00:11:44,502
Four days into her maiden voyage,
she it an iceberg and sank.
163
00:11:44,604 --> 00:11:47,872
Around 1500 peoplelost their lives.
164
00:11:47,974 --> 00:11:50,975
there's something about
this story that grips people.
165
00:11:51,078 --> 00:11:55,480
The way the disaster played out, the
length of time that it played out,
166
00:11:55,582 --> 00:12:00,185
allowing all these different human
dramas and different classes of people,
167
00:12:00,353 --> 00:12:03,488
everybody finds something
in this disaster.
168
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:07,358
It's so varied and
so all-encompassing.
169
00:12:12,699 --> 00:12:14,866
it looks like
the edge of something.
170
00:12:14,968 --> 00:12:19,471
Just kind of keeps
pushing me.
171
00:12:19,573 --> 00:12:23,675
where Titanic rests
is incredibly dangerous.
172
00:12:23,777 --> 00:12:28,046
Strong currents swirl around the
wreck, making it extremely difficult
173
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:30,782
for Victor to reachand film his target.
174
00:12:30,884 --> 00:12:32,684
I'm hitting
a one eight zero.
175
00:12:32,786 --> 00:12:36,287
I'm being very careful, I don't
wanna run into anything.
176
00:12:43,363 --> 00:12:45,530
Where is it? I can't see it.
177
00:12:49,302 --> 00:12:52,504
There doesn't appear
to be anything here.
178
00:12:52,606 --> 00:12:54,773
I've a bad feeling
about this.
179
00:13:03,216 --> 00:13:05,150
There we go.
180
00:13:06,086 --> 00:13:07,318
There she is.
181
00:13:12,025 --> 00:13:16,194
Oh, my gosh, I'm at the bow.
I'm at the bow of the Titanic.
182
00:13:27,274 --> 00:13:33,511
Surface, lf has gone
to bow of Titanic.
183
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:38,817
yeah.
184
00:13:40,253 --> 00:13:45,990
just seeing the wreck outside
the view port, wow, amazing.
185
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:03,041
Victor can now begin
the team's next objective,
186
00:14:03,143 --> 00:14:07,178
to film the wreck and collect
data, to assess its condition.
187
00:14:12,052 --> 00:14:13,785
coming up along
the side here,
188
00:14:13,887 --> 00:14:20,525
I can see rust formations hanging
from the famous handrails and there,
189
00:14:20,627 --> 00:14:28,299
you can see some of the
a deck square windows.
190
00:14:28,368 --> 00:14:31,402
Victor pilots the sub
along the ship's exterior.
191
00:14:31,504 --> 00:14:34,606
Curtains of corrosion can be
seen enveloping port holes.
192
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:43,882
When Titanic was first discovered in
1985, she was in remarkable condition
193
00:14:43,984 --> 00:14:47,719
but her stern and bow werelocated 600 metres apart,
194
00:14:47,821 --> 00:14:50,321
having broken up ontheir descent.
195
00:14:51,992 --> 00:14:54,993
As Victor heads past thebow, towards the stern,
196
00:14:55,095 --> 00:14:58,863
there's evidence of humantragedy all around.
197
00:14:58,965 --> 00:15:03,868
wow, the sea floor it's littered
with debris from the ship breaking up,
198
00:15:03,970 --> 00:15:06,137
as it descended through
the water column.
199
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:13,411
I can see tiles, some even intact
bottles, what looks to be crockery.
200
00:15:13,513 --> 00:15:18,116
There also seems to even be a
perfectly preserved pair of trousers.
201
00:15:25,158 --> 00:15:28,993
On approaching the stern, I've
got a big old sonar return.
202
00:15:32,599 --> 00:15:34,098
I see you on the
sonar, girl.
203
00:15:38,805 --> 00:15:40,138
Can you see this?
That's the stern.
204
00:15:42,142 --> 00:15:45,443
Wow, just savaged.
205
00:15:46,413 --> 00:15:50,648
Yeah, this is concerning,
there's jagged metal protruding
206
00:15:50,750 --> 00:15:56,421
almost from all directions and
i can feel a strong current
207
00:15:56,523 --> 00:15:59,524
pushing me towards
the wreckage sometimes.
208
00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:06,230
the dive has justbecome much more dangerous.
209
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:22,013
a deep sea sub is
investigating the wreck of Titanic.
210
00:16:23,450 --> 00:16:26,050
wow, just savaged.
211
00:16:26,152 --> 00:16:29,487
at the stern, a powerful
channel of fast flowing water
212
00:16:29,589 --> 00:16:32,790
now jeopardizes thesafety of the dive.
213
00:16:32,892 --> 00:16:37,729
I can feel a strong current pushing
me towards the wreckage sometimes.
214
00:16:37,831 --> 00:16:40,498
after several hours
fighting dangerous conditions
215
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,268
Victor decides it's time toreturn to the surface.
216
00:16:44,371 --> 00:16:46,604
surface,
this is lf ascending.
217
00:16:46,706 --> 00:16:48,940
for thesafety of the mission.
218
00:16:51,011 --> 00:16:53,077
I am exhausted.
219
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:17,869
hi.
220
00:17:21,207 --> 00:17:22,907
- oh finally hey?
- Done
221
00:17:25,678 --> 00:17:28,880
- bow and stern.
- Good one. Good one.
222
00:17:28,982 --> 00:17:31,282
this dive is completed,
the sub's pulled in,
223
00:17:31,384 --> 00:17:33,684
but really my work
starts now.
224
00:17:33,787 --> 00:17:36,721
All of the analysis work
that goes into the footage.
225
00:17:36,823 --> 00:17:39,657
I've got to try and get that
done and get things identified,
226
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:43,127
so it's gonna be two
busy days for me.
227
00:17:47,467 --> 00:17:49,967
in a way, it was the most
difficult dive I've ever done,
228
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:53,838
simply because of the scale and the
very strong currents and visibility.
229
00:17:53,940 --> 00:17:59,877
So, it was very much diving into the unknown
and coming back with new information.
230
00:18:00,046 --> 00:18:01,879
The condition of the
wreck and, you know,
231
00:18:01,981 --> 00:18:03,481
what had happened in
the last ten years.
232
00:18:06,052 --> 00:18:08,686
the first divehas been a great success,
233
00:18:08,788 --> 00:18:11,989
it's revealed Titanic iscontinuing to decay,
234
00:18:12,092 --> 00:18:14,025
but she's still in tact.
235
00:18:14,127 --> 00:18:19,330
This new information is allowing the team
to begin the next phase of their mission.
236
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:22,834
A more detailedforensic investigation.
237
00:18:22,936 --> 00:18:26,504
yeah, that's a deck promenade
and this is the b deck here,
238
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:28,940
c deck port holes here.
239
00:18:29,042 --> 00:18:32,777
This is starboard side.
240
00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:37,048
Oh, this is badly corroded up here,
look at that, oh, it's gone.
241
00:18:37,150 --> 00:18:40,151
what's gone? Right,
look at a deck, right after
242
00:18:40,253 --> 00:18:43,154
Titanic specialist,
parks, is studying the footage,
243
00:18:43,256 --> 00:18:44,922
to assess the stateof the ship.
244
00:18:45,024 --> 00:18:48,759
what collapsed? It's part
of the, parks: It's, the a deck.
245
00:18:48,862 --> 00:18:54,132
by comparing the footage with images
recorded after Titanic was first found,
246
00:18:54,200 --> 00:19:01,839
he can see the bow is still recognizable,
but the stern is showing greater break up.
247
00:19:01,941 --> 00:19:05,109
the stern was absolutely
shattered on impact and so,
248
00:19:05,211 --> 00:19:09,614
it is a mass of steel
and cables and fragments
249
00:19:09,716 --> 00:19:13,151
and I don't think it's been properly
conveyed just how dangerous that area is
250
00:19:13,253 --> 00:19:14,785
and, frankly, how
unrecognizable.
251
00:19:19,993 --> 00:19:23,261
strong currents
swirling around and eroding metal
252
00:19:23,363 --> 00:19:27,298
are partially responsible forTitanic's deterioration,
253
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:33,604
but experts think there is another reason
for the ship's uneven rate of decline.
254
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:39,644
Titanic is unique, in the fact
that it is dominated by bacteria.
255
00:19:42,448 --> 00:19:46,050
microbial ecologist Lori
johnston is one of the only people
256
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,154
in the world who can fully
understand what is happening.
257
00:19:50,256 --> 00:19:54,125
On previous expeditions, Lori
investigated an phenomenon only seen
258
00:19:54,260 --> 00:19:57,261
on some of the deepestwrecks in the world.
259
00:19:57,363 --> 00:20:01,265
Titanic is teemingwith microscopic life.
260
00:20:01,367 --> 00:20:04,335
Titanic obviously, had
bacteria when it went down
261
00:20:04,437 --> 00:20:07,705
and they basically have
become the dominant organism.
262
00:20:11,311 --> 00:20:15,112
the bacteria thrive in areas
where metal is damaged like buckles
263
00:20:15,215 --> 00:20:20,518
or fractures. It is herethat rusticles first form.
264
00:20:20,620 --> 00:20:25,289
the term rusticle was sort of
coined when the Titanic was found
265
00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:29,327
and it looks like rust
coloured icicle.
266
00:20:29,429 --> 00:20:31,495
They're very
sophisticated structures,
267
00:20:31,598 --> 00:20:34,498
because they're made up of
microscopic organisms.
268
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:37,969
So when you put a rusticle
under the microscope,
269
00:20:38,071 --> 00:20:42,139
the features in them
are extremely detailed.
270
00:20:42,242 --> 00:20:46,210
these organisms have adapted
to eat metal and their feed rate
271
00:20:46,312 --> 00:20:50,881
looks set to intensify,
increasing the rate of decay.
272
00:20:50,984 --> 00:20:53,951
the bacteria themselves
seem to be increasing,
273
00:20:54,053 --> 00:20:56,954
simply because there's nothing
there that can out compete them,
274
00:20:57,056 --> 00:21:01,859
and because there's so much steel there
and they're just in their glory,
275
00:21:01,961 --> 00:21:04,528
taking out all of the
elements under the sea.
276
00:21:09,335 --> 00:21:14,639
this is a worrying
discovery, but there is one advantage,
277
00:21:14,741 --> 00:21:19,243
the breakup allows the team to see
inside new areas of the wreck.
278
00:21:26,252 --> 00:21:27,785
I can show you how
I've put it together,
279
00:21:27,887 --> 00:21:32,189
which is mainly using a process
called photogrammetry,
280
00:21:32,292 --> 00:21:36,527
so we've basically reconstructed
the path of the submarine.
281
00:21:42,502 --> 00:21:47,138
so, this is what Victor was
looking at on his first dive.
282
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,708
The bow going down
the starboard side.
283
00:21:57,684 --> 00:21:59,216
Ah, that's amazing.
284
00:22:00,887 --> 00:22:03,254
creating this
scientifically accurate model
285
00:22:03,356 --> 00:22:05,489
is one of the team'score objectives.
286
00:22:05,591 --> 00:22:09,160
It's allowing parks to viewTitanic from all angles,
287
00:22:09,262 --> 00:22:11,429
to see things in fargreater detail,
288
00:22:11,531 --> 00:22:15,666
than what is possible from diving
or studying video footage.
289
00:22:15,768 --> 00:22:18,636
oh, okay rotate back around,
okay and then bring it up.
290
00:22:18,738 --> 00:22:23,941
Okay, that's good, I mean,
oh, that is something else.
291
00:22:24,043 --> 00:22:28,245
even this early in the process,
the model is allowing parks to investigate
292
00:22:28,348 --> 00:22:32,316
stories from Titanic inunprecedented detail.
293
00:22:32,418 --> 00:22:36,721
the way the 3D has rendered
here and has that corner, I mean,
294
00:22:36,823 --> 00:22:40,157
it really feels
like the ship here.
295
00:22:42,995 --> 00:22:47,865
on the night Titanic sank,
more than 2000 passengers were onboard.
296
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:49,800
The crew rushed towardsthe lifeboats,
297
00:22:49,902 --> 00:22:53,771
to be lowered into the water using
a small crane called the davit.
298
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:59,210
On the model parks is intrigued
by one davit, in particular.
299
00:22:59,312 --> 00:23:04,382
right in this very area, first
officer Murdoch was desperately trying
300
00:23:04,484 --> 00:23:09,353
to load the last lifeboat into the davit,
so that it could be launched properly.
301
00:23:09,455 --> 00:23:11,889
You can see that this
davit is cranked in.
302
00:23:11,991 --> 00:23:14,625
- It's the only one on the wreck
that's like that. - Right.
303
00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:19,430
that really supports
the account that Murdoch
304
00:23:19,532 --> 00:23:22,933
was trying to launch
the last lifeboat,
305
00:23:23,035 --> 00:23:26,036
when he and his crew were
swept away by the water.
306
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,510
the photogrammetry has provided
vital evidence of the davit's position,
307
00:23:32,612 --> 00:23:36,480
proving that this lifeboatwas never launched.
308
00:23:36,582 --> 00:23:40,518
I mean, I can almost
visualise the scene,
309
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:45,022
seeing it in this lighting
and at this angle. So,
310
00:23:49,562 --> 00:23:53,197
that's pretty touching.
311
00:23:55,868 --> 00:23:58,502
there were just20 lifeboats in total,
312
00:23:58,604 --> 00:24:01,105
only enough for aroundhalf the passengers.
313
00:24:05,178 --> 00:24:07,878
There's another personalstory related to Titanic
314
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:11,148
that has fascinatedparks for years.
315
00:24:11,250 --> 00:24:15,653
It's connected to one of the
ship's most famous passengers,
316
00:24:15,755 --> 00:24:17,688
Benjamin guggenheim.
317
00:24:17,790 --> 00:24:22,226
He was one of America's wealthiest
and most prominent businessmen,
318
00:24:22,328 --> 00:24:27,198
who was said to have dressed up in his best
and prepared to go down like a gentleman.
319
00:24:29,001 --> 00:24:32,136
This is what guggenheim's state
rooms would have looked like,
320
00:24:32,238 --> 00:24:35,172
Titanic's most opulentliving quarters.
321
00:24:36,843 --> 00:24:43,380
Located on the port side at the point of
destruction, where the ship split in two.
322
00:24:43,483 --> 00:24:48,853
The state rooms were torn off
and feel to the sea floor,
323
00:24:48,955 --> 00:24:51,722
where they remain tothis day, undiscovered.
324
00:24:52,892 --> 00:24:56,760
Now, using the sub, parksis determined to find them.
325
00:25:09,208 --> 00:25:12,643
the free boat is engaged, would
you like me to engage surfacing?
326
00:25:12,745 --> 00:25:17,748
the team is preparing
the sub for the next dive.
327
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:21,585
To locate the remains of
Titanic's most opulent cabin,
328
00:25:21,687 --> 00:25:23,854
where one of the ship'smost famous passengers,
329
00:25:23,956 --> 00:25:27,424
Benjamin guggenheim,spent his final days.
330
00:25:28,928 --> 00:25:30,728
I'm the only
member of my family,
331
00:25:30,830 --> 00:25:35,666
going back to where my great
great grandfather last stood.
332
00:25:35,768 --> 00:25:39,670
So, there is something quite powerful about
that, I guess, and kind of getting closer
333
00:25:39,772 --> 00:25:44,642
to the rest of the family and
maybe paying one last homage.
334
00:25:44,744 --> 00:25:48,712
sindbad is Benjamin
guggenheim's great great grandson.
335
00:25:48,814 --> 00:25:52,216
He's joined the expedition, to
discover more about the final hours
336
00:25:52,318 --> 00:25:55,185
of his ill-fated relative.
337
00:25:55,288 --> 00:25:58,155
now, these are the decks,
they're laying on top of each other,
338
00:25:58,257 --> 00:26:02,560
what you're seeing are the ribs that
support the underside of the decks
339
00:26:02,662 --> 00:26:06,730
and then it appears to be
shell plating underneath.
340
00:26:06,832 --> 00:26:09,733
previous expeditions
revealed an image that parks thinks
341
00:26:09,835 --> 00:26:13,370
could be guggenheim'smissing state rooms.
342
00:26:13,472 --> 00:26:17,074
He wants to dive down on the
wreck, to investigate further.
343
00:26:17,176 --> 00:26:20,277
well, parks is one of the world's
leading historians on the Titanic
344
00:26:20,379 --> 00:26:23,047
and he's the kind of individual that
can look at a piece of wreckage
345
00:26:23,149 --> 00:26:27,518
and identify where it was on the
ship and why it's interesting.
346
00:26:27,620 --> 00:26:32,590
each piece, its position,
its condition, tells a story.
347
00:26:38,998 --> 00:26:42,866
parks also wants to record
high resolution footage of some specific
348
00:26:42,969 --> 00:26:48,005
features on the bow, to addto the photogrammetry model.
349
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:53,177
Once again, Victorwill pilot the sub.
350
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:55,579
Parks will joinhim to observe.
351
00:26:55,681 --> 00:26:58,549
I feel the need
to go down there myself,
352
00:26:58,651 --> 00:27:01,919
owe it to those who
perished in the disaster,
353
00:27:02,021 --> 00:27:05,022
to maybe step out of the
comfort zone a little bit,
354
00:27:05,124 --> 00:27:10,594
take an acceptable amount of risk
and experience it for myself.
355
00:27:11,797 --> 00:27:15,366
the sub will dive to the
wreck site, travel over the bow,
356
00:27:15,468 --> 00:27:20,170
then out across the debris field, searching
for the mysterious piece of metal.
357
00:27:24,644 --> 00:27:26,810
here comes the water,
cap's on, are you ready?
358
00:27:26,912 --> 00:27:29,246
yeah, Roger that,
my hatch is secure.
359
00:27:29,348 --> 00:27:31,582
Roger that,
hatch secure. Here we go.
360
00:27:31,684 --> 00:27:33,784
Just gonna put a little
bit more on here.
361
00:27:33,886 --> 00:27:35,786
if parks'stheory is correct,
362
00:27:35,888 --> 00:27:40,891
it'll be an incredible discovery
connecting a family across generations.
363
00:27:42,328 --> 00:27:45,129
clear to go
ahead and start pumping.
364
00:27:45,231 --> 00:27:46,797
There goes the swimmer.
365
00:27:48,367 --> 00:27:50,300
lf.
366
00:27:50,403 --> 00:27:51,869
this is
the lf, go ahead.
367
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:54,538
you're clear
to circle.
368
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,175
Roger that, the swimmer
is clear, I have armed thrusters.
369
00:27:58,277 --> 00:27:59,510
We're beginning to
pump in now.
370
00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:15,793
the subbegins its long descent.
371
00:28:19,498 --> 00:28:26,003
Benjamin guggenheim was born into a wealthy
mining family in Philadelphia in 1865.
372
00:28:27,606 --> 00:28:31,175
He was 47 years old, whenTitanic sank leaving behind
373
00:28:31,277 --> 00:28:33,877
a wife and three youngdaughters.
374
00:28:38,884 --> 00:28:44,188
surface lf, depth three eight
zero five heading three one zero,
375
00:28:44,290 --> 00:28:48,192
life support good,
wreck on sonar.
376
00:28:48,294 --> 00:28:52,262
Roger that lf, understand,
three eight zero five metres heading
377
00:28:52,364 --> 00:28:54,965
three one zero degrees
with life support good
378
00:28:55,067 --> 00:28:57,367
and wreck on sonar.
Congratulations.
379
00:28:57,503 --> 00:29:02,072
the sub hasreached the wreck site.
380
00:29:02,174 --> 00:29:04,475
ha, it's murky.
381
00:29:04,577 --> 00:29:07,044
- You can look down there and see pretty
well. - I can see it, yeah.
382
00:29:09,482 --> 00:29:11,048
actually, the
visibility's better looking down.
383
00:29:11,150 --> 00:29:12,983
it is.
There's the marconi room,
384
00:29:13,085 --> 00:29:16,386
- one of the windows, one of the skylights.
- Lets see here.
385
00:29:16,489 --> 00:29:20,023
before searching for the
remains of the guggenheim state rooms,
386
00:29:20,126 --> 00:29:25,262
the team films additional footage of other
important features, for later analysis,
387
00:29:25,364 --> 00:29:29,099
including the area aroundthe captain's quarters.
388
00:29:29,201 --> 00:29:34,271
okay, I can barely see it, I can
barely see it, yeah, it's devastated.
389
00:29:34,406 --> 00:29:36,273
I see a glimpse of the tub.
390
00:29:44,683 --> 00:29:49,353
next, the team turns their attention
to the search for guggenheim's state rooms.
391
00:29:51,624 --> 00:29:55,759
The debris field is 15square miles in size.
392
00:29:55,861 --> 00:30:00,864
Finding a single piece of metal is like
trying to find a needle in a haystack.
393
00:30:03,202 --> 00:30:04,735
is this
the bigger piece?
394
00:30:04,837 --> 00:30:07,271
- no, it's not the bigger piece.
- What is this?
395
00:30:07,373 --> 00:30:09,139
I don't think
it's guggenheim either.
396
00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:17,247
parks is searching for specific
structural features that coincide
397
00:30:17,349 --> 00:30:20,450
with the state room'slocation aboard the ship.
398
00:30:20,553 --> 00:30:25,823
This is key to confirming the identify
of the mystery object in the image.
399
00:30:29,495 --> 00:30:36,099
getting close to something
up there on the left. 40 meters.
400
00:30:36,202 --> 00:30:39,369
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, eyes
out, eyes out, eyes out.
401
00:30:39,471 --> 00:30:40,537
okay.
402
00:30:43,642 --> 00:30:48,345
this might be the guggenheim
piece, you see all that ribbing?
403
00:30:48,447 --> 00:30:53,784
yeah. This might
be the guggenheim piece.
404
00:30:53,886 --> 00:30:54,852
I'm gonna
translate more.
405
00:30:54,954 --> 00:30:56,119
please translate
left, yes, please.
406
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:03,093
Yeah here we go,
this is it.
407
00:31:03,195 --> 00:31:05,195
This is it, this is guggenheim's
state room, right here.
408
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:10,300
- Right along here.
- Found it.
409
00:31:12,571 --> 00:31:15,138
that's his
state room right there.
410
00:31:15,241 --> 00:31:19,176
That's guggenheim.
411
00:31:19,278 --> 00:31:21,211
good job.
Teamwork.
412
00:31:24,083 --> 00:31:30,454
Surface lf, present depth, three eight zero
two, life support good, at guggenheim.
413
00:31:30,556 --> 00:31:32,923
Roger, lf,
at guggenheim.
414
00:31:33,025 --> 00:31:34,424
Congratulations.
415
00:31:42,968 --> 00:31:44,468
Urn off the flow.
416
00:31:45,938 --> 00:31:50,107
the search is over for the remains
of Benjamin guggenheim's state rooms.
417
00:31:56,448 --> 00:31:58,482
I can't
believe you found it.
418
00:31:58,584 --> 00:32:05,455
the odds of this were astronomical,
but it just so happened in this case,
419
00:32:05,557 --> 00:32:11,795
your great great grandfather's
state room was situated in an area
420
00:32:11,897 --> 00:32:18,368
that had identifiable features,
yes, the odds were astronomical.
421
00:32:23,108 --> 00:32:28,045
that chaos is
really what's for me,
422
00:32:28,147 --> 00:32:30,514
really, the most traumatising,
i think, you know,
423
00:32:30,616 --> 00:32:34,751
when you're there, when you see this and
everything, it's just very powerful.
424
00:32:34,853 --> 00:32:36,687
one thing it does
show, that at the end,
425
00:32:36,789 --> 00:32:39,323
it did not matter what class you
were from, they all died equally.
426
00:32:39,425 --> 00:32:41,158
exactly, yeah.
Absolutely.
427
00:32:44,229 --> 00:32:48,966
in those rare instances where
we can provide identification
428
00:32:49,034 --> 00:32:55,072
of a piece to a descendant
of someone who perished,
429
00:32:55,174 --> 00:32:58,342
I think it's very much
appreciated.
430
00:32:58,444 --> 00:33:02,379
we all like to remember those
like fairy tales of him dressed
431
00:33:02,481 --> 00:33:07,250
in his best, as he sank, sipping
Brandy and just going down heroically,
432
00:33:07,353 --> 00:33:11,355
I guess, but, yeah,
what I'm seeing here,
433
00:33:11,457 --> 00:33:14,358
like the crushed metal and
everything is just showing me
434
00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:15,792
a very different reality.
435
00:33:24,003 --> 00:33:27,004
finding guggenheim's
state rooms allows the team to add
436
00:33:27,106 --> 00:33:32,609
another crucial part totheir photogrammetry model.
437
00:33:32,711 --> 00:33:35,345
and then we're
coming up now to the top.
438
00:33:35,447 --> 00:33:38,048
okay, there's the
overhang from a deck.
439
00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:42,285
additional data from the most
recent dive has now been added to the model.
440
00:33:42,388 --> 00:33:46,890
It's allowing parks to understand other
areas of Titanic in far more detail.
441
00:33:46,992 --> 00:33:50,727
it took us a
while to recognise this.
442
00:33:50,829 --> 00:33:54,598
including the cabin
of captain Edward John Smith,
443
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:59,002
who famously wentdown with his ship.
444
00:33:59,104 --> 00:34:02,539
When Titanic wasrediscovered in 1985,
445
00:34:02,641 --> 00:34:05,942
the contents of captain Smith's
bathroom were revealed to be largely
446
00:34:06,045 --> 00:34:11,648
intact, includinghis private bathtub.
447
00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:16,219
It's a tiny, but very tangible detail
of the lives of individuals who lived
448
00:34:16,321 --> 00:34:18,822
and worked aboard the ship.
449
00:34:19,725 --> 00:34:21,992
So parks wants tosee how it's faring.
450
00:34:23,295 --> 00:34:27,697
this entire overhead has now
collapsed, since we last saw it,
451
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:33,870
only a small sliver of the
captain's bath tub remains.
452
00:34:33,972 --> 00:34:40,577
This collapse was exactly the kind of
failure that we were expecting to find
453
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:44,414
and I expect this kind of
collapse is gonna continue
454
00:34:44,516 --> 00:34:48,985
in various areas around the
wreck, in the years to come.
455
00:34:50,255 --> 00:34:52,956
the captain's quarters
have lost their battle with decay.
456
00:34:58,831 --> 00:35:02,099
Next, parks turns his attention
to another area of the ship,
457
00:35:02,167 --> 00:35:06,903
that's of great interest,the marconi room.
458
00:35:07,005 --> 00:35:09,272
As the biggest andbest ship of her day,
459
00:35:09,374 --> 00:35:12,809
Titanic contained stateof the art technology,
460
00:35:12,911 --> 00:35:16,480
including the famousmarconi radio transmitter.
461
00:35:16,582 --> 00:35:19,716
The set aboard Titanic was among
the first of its kind ever built.
462
00:35:23,355 --> 00:35:26,323
It was housed in the marconi
room, located on the boat deck,
463
00:35:26,425 --> 00:35:30,594
between the firstand second funnels.
464
00:35:30,696 --> 00:35:35,966
The transmitter was used to receive warnings
of icebergs and send distress messages,
465
00:35:36,068 --> 00:35:40,537
something ships hadn't been able to
do until the end of the 19th century.
466
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:44,107
my biggest fear is
my favourite part of wreck,
467
00:35:44,209 --> 00:35:46,243
the marconi wireless
telegraph room,
468
00:35:46,345 --> 00:35:49,846
is gone and any hope of recovering
that transmitting apparatus
469
00:35:49,948 --> 00:35:56,186
and restoring it is no
longer a possibility.
470
00:35:59,925 --> 00:36:03,059
on a previous expedition,
parks saw the marconi room
471
00:36:03,128 --> 00:36:05,629
and its contents werein good condition
472
00:36:05,731 --> 00:36:08,365
now he wants to view itscurrent state in detail,
473
00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:13,970
as he couldn't see it clearly
during his dive with Victor.
474
00:36:14,072 --> 00:36:16,973
I wanna go in here, I wanna see
what that is, I wanna get in here.
475
00:36:17,075 --> 00:36:19,442
I can actually see rusticles
hanging down inside,
476
00:36:19,578 --> 00:36:24,347
so that indicates there's
a whole space in here.
477
00:36:24,449 --> 00:36:26,750
parks is hoping the
photogrammetry will allow him
478
00:36:26,852 --> 00:36:31,221
to see the marconi roomin far greater detail.
479
00:36:31,323 --> 00:36:34,491
the area that I'm interested
in is right in this area right here.
480
00:36:34,593 --> 00:36:36,560
Now, your data set
falls off here,
481
00:36:36,662 --> 00:36:41,798
but these holes right here
are of special concern to me,
482
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:46,403
because this looks like the beginning
of,now, now, pull out a little bit.
483
00:36:46,505 --> 00:36:47,904
sure.
484
00:36:48,006 --> 00:36:50,373
the three dimensional
photogrammetry is revealing
485
00:36:50,475 --> 00:36:54,211
a new depression in theroof of the marconi room.
486
00:36:54,313 --> 00:36:57,380
it's gonna continue to fall
and next time we come out here,
487
00:36:57,482 --> 00:37:00,784
there's gonna be a new
hole next to that one.
488
00:37:00,953 --> 00:37:04,120
Oh, we are definitely in
a race against time here.
489
00:37:15,033 --> 00:37:20,337
an investigation into the condition
of Titanic is revealing a mixed picture.
490
00:37:20,439 --> 00:37:23,640
Some of the wreck'sfeatures have deteriorated.
491
00:37:23,742 --> 00:37:29,512
I see a glimpse of the tub, I can
barely see it and yeah, it's devastated.
492
00:37:29,615 --> 00:37:31,548
whilst othershave barely changed.
493
00:37:31,650 --> 00:37:36,453
overall. The wreck seems to
be holding up surprisingly well.
494
00:37:36,555 --> 00:37:39,789
There are some areas
of concern,
495
00:37:39,891 --> 00:37:45,195
advanced deterioration and we're gonna
to be assessing those going forward,
496
00:37:45,297 --> 00:37:47,964
to try and get better
predictions on how much longer
497
00:37:48,066 --> 00:37:49,933
the wreck will be with us.
498
00:37:53,105 --> 00:37:55,672
we wanted to take this
moment, to remember those
499
00:37:55,774 --> 00:37:59,442
that have perished the
night that Titanic sank.
500
00:37:59,544 --> 00:38:02,746
as the expeditionenters its final stages,
501
00:38:02,848 --> 00:38:05,849
the team is honouringTitanic's victims.
502
00:38:05,951 --> 00:38:09,419
and we'll take
a moment's silence.
503
00:38:25,337 --> 00:38:29,172
with the ceremony complete,
the team prepares for their next dive.
504
00:38:29,274 --> 00:38:31,975
it's a good opportunity
to think about the site itself
505
00:38:32,077 --> 00:38:34,444
and to start planning
the dive.
506
00:38:34,546 --> 00:38:39,516
I wanted to go beyond the dive, to
talk about a science programme,
507
00:38:39,618 --> 00:38:42,552
about the permanent
conditions.
508
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:47,924
the dive will help the team
understand and predict Titanic's future.
509
00:38:48,026 --> 00:38:50,994
they've taken a number
of different types of metal
510
00:38:51,096 --> 00:38:55,765
and then they've subjected them
to different kinds of activity.
511
00:38:55,867 --> 00:39:00,170
Some of them have been subject to
torsion, some of them have been heat
512
00:39:00,339 --> 00:39:03,073
treated with a welder,
some have been riveted.
513
00:39:03,175 --> 00:39:07,243
So, they're trying to replicate
all the different kinds of metal
514
00:39:07,346 --> 00:39:09,879
that you might find on a
ship and then subjecting it
515
00:39:09,981 --> 00:39:15,385
to the sort of forces that a
ship in distress might suffer.
516
00:39:15,487 --> 00:39:19,923
the team wants to place the
data platform next to the wreck.
517
00:39:20,025 --> 00:39:24,894
It's a non-invasive, but
scientific way to record decline.
518
00:39:24,996 --> 00:39:28,665
The platform is made ofsteel, just like Titanic.
519
00:39:28,767 --> 00:39:31,468
the bacteria will start
populating that steel source,
520
00:39:31,570 --> 00:39:35,638
so then we can bring that up
after x number of years,
521
00:39:35,741 --> 00:39:39,442
it's considered a long term
experiment, and analyse it,
522
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:44,581
to again correlate that back to the
deterioration rate of the wreck.
523
00:39:47,953 --> 00:39:51,121
you can see the very obvious
manipulator arm, that's very powerful,
524
00:39:51,223 --> 00:39:56,025
but it can function all the
way down to full ocean depth.
525
00:39:56,128 --> 00:39:58,094
the sub's
manipulator arm will be used
526
00:39:58,196 --> 00:40:01,064
to place the steel platform
on the sea floor,
527
00:40:01,166 --> 00:40:03,233
but doing this,
three miles down,
528
00:40:03,335 --> 00:40:06,703
in the dark and with strong
currents, won't be easy.
529
00:40:06,805 --> 00:40:11,074
it'll be a challenge, there's no doubt
about it, but I'm up for the challenge.
530
00:40:11,176 --> 00:40:13,977
- good luck, guys.
- Thanks, Victor.
531
00:40:16,782 --> 00:40:21,985
Kelvin is going to be
operating the manipulator arm.
532
00:40:22,087 --> 00:40:25,155
And for this dive, Patrickis piloting the sub.
533
00:40:27,726 --> 00:40:29,025
- you got her?
- Yep.
534
00:40:29,127 --> 00:40:30,093
Bring this bad boy down.
535
00:40:33,965 --> 00:40:36,900
the sub will be supported
by a remotely controlled lander,
536
00:40:37,002 --> 00:40:40,637
that will safely transport the
data platform to the sea floor.
537
00:40:40,739 --> 00:40:44,908
you've got three swimmers
below, you can start to pump and dive.
538
00:40:45,010 --> 00:40:47,410
Roger that. Turning
pumps on now. Okay?
539
00:40:47,512 --> 00:40:48,645
- yep.
- Okay.
540
00:41:00,325 --> 00:41:04,794
having arrived at the wreck, the
team prepares to release the platform.
541
00:41:14,306 --> 00:41:18,775
But, at this step just the simplest of
actions is fraught with difficulty.
542
00:41:24,149 --> 00:41:25,114
looking good.
543
00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:31,788
the next task is to drop
the platform in a safe place,
544
00:41:31,890 --> 00:41:36,159
as close to the wreck as possible,
so rusticles can latch on.
545
00:41:37,395 --> 00:41:40,029
yeah, so bring it
down to the ground here.
546
00:41:40,131 --> 00:41:45,568
got close enough?
Looks pretty close.
547
00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:46,970
here, let me
get the arm going again.
548
00:41:56,615 --> 00:41:58,581
Yeah, yeah, yep
549
00:42:05,357 --> 00:42:08,090
when the platform is
retrieved in years to come,
550
00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:10,827
on a new expedition,the rusticles captured
551
00:42:10,929 --> 00:42:13,830
will be vital in predictingTitanic's future.
552
00:42:19,304 --> 00:42:23,106
The team's mission is complete
and the first manned dives
553
00:42:23,208 --> 00:42:27,610
to Titanic in nearly 15years have come to an end.
554
00:42:30,615 --> 00:42:32,382
thanks very much,
frank, for getting us back.
555
00:42:38,123 --> 00:42:40,023
the expedition hasled to the creation of the
556
00:42:40,125 --> 00:42:44,727
the most accurate photogrammetry
model of the wreck ever built.
557
00:42:56,274 --> 00:42:59,542
Titanic, as no onehas seen her before.
558
00:43:04,816 --> 00:43:09,953
And now she's beginning a new
life as an artificial reef.
559
00:43:10,055 --> 00:43:15,091
Home to an abundant and diverse
array of marine creatures.
560
00:43:15,193 --> 00:43:17,794
honestly, there's
more life on Titanic now,
561
00:43:17,896 --> 00:43:23,066
than there was when she was
floating on the surface.
562
00:43:23,168 --> 00:43:26,569
but, in time, as
Titanic's decline continues,
563
00:43:26,671 --> 00:43:29,539
she will becomeunrecognisable.
564
00:43:29,641 --> 00:43:32,609
there's lots of
varying opinions on Titanic.
565
00:43:32,711 --> 00:43:35,144
Is there any way that
we can preserve it?
566
00:43:35,246 --> 00:43:40,817
But, I sometimes feel that people miss
the point of the recycling aspect.
567
00:43:40,919 --> 00:43:42,852
This is a natural process.
568
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:49,225
It was built through iron ore and the earth
is reclaiming that iron ore from Titanic.
569
00:43:50,462 --> 00:43:53,096
it's a shipwreck
that's returning to nature,
570
00:43:53,198 --> 00:43:57,467
but that doesn't mean that we're
done exploring Titanic yet.
571
00:43:57,569 --> 00:44:00,703
This deterioration has now
opened up new possibilities
572
00:44:00,805 --> 00:44:02,939
to learn more
about the wreck.
573
00:44:05,377 --> 00:44:09,946
We went down there to look,
to document, and to assess.
574
00:44:10,048 --> 00:44:13,883
The results of this expedition
wildly exceeded our expectations.
