Virtual Trip to RMS Titanic

Episodes · History · Technology · Virtual Reality

Come with us as we journey through the Atlantic Ocean to discuss the fateful night of April 15, 1912 when the RMS Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. We share a few links to YouTube 360 videos that let you walk through the Titanic as well as a link that simulates her sinking, in real time. 

We also share our visit to Fairview Lawn Cemetery, Nova Scotia where we paid our respects to those who lost their life in this tragic accident. As well as the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax.

We also share information on two museums; one in the Republic of Ireland and the other in Northern Ireland. Both specific to just the Titanic. 

SHOW TRANSCRIPTION

David: [00:00:04] Hi, I’m David Allen Lambert, I’m here with Terri O’Connell. We’re your Virtual Historians and it is the summertime. And I thought I would change it up a little bit and talk some more about some of the wonderful things that we can find historically online. And for me, well, if you can tell what’s over my shoulder, that’s the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic, which I’ve had a fascination with since I saw Raise the Titanic when I was about 11 years old, a couple of years ago.

Not as long back as when the Titanic actually sailed. I’m not that old, even though my kids might argue that fact. Terri, I think we can both relate to a couple of years ago when we both went to Halifax and saw some amazing Titanic related sites. 

Terri: [00:00:54] Definitely. I think that when we were planning that cruise, that was the one thing we both talked about.

It was we have to hit these few locations just to touch on the Titanic history. 

David: [00:01:05] Yeah to go to the cemetery ( Fairview Lawn Cemetery ) where so many of the Titanic victims are buried and a lot of them are still unknown. A number of years ago, had a baby that had remained unknown for so very long and they were able through DNA to actually identify the child.

In the way the cemetery was laid out like a bow of the ship. That was well planned out and it was even more amazing when we went to the office and you know, me, I’m, I’m a pushy historian. And I just said, you know, just out of curiosity, do you have any records of the burials on the Titanic?

She brought out that large ledger sheet and opened it up and there we are actually seeing the ledger that was used when they were entering in each one of the burials from the disaster. 

Terri: [00:02:01] What’s funny is that the book was actually set to the side. So while you were talking about your family stuff, I had already opened the first few pages and didn’t see anything interesting.

So I shut it. I should’ve looked harder, went a little deeper.

David: [00:02:15] You know, when I went into the office, initially, it was because I didn’t want to find out more about the Titanic. Obviously we saw the gravestones and all that. It was to find out more about my great-grandfather, who lies in an unmarked grave in Halifax. He died back in 1869 and this cemetery also cares for he’s buried at and so whenever we got to see the other book, I thought that was a real treat because it was just us and the records, not like a hoard of people from a tour bus or anything like that.

So, and then of course, we went to the Canadian Maritime History Museum in Halifax where they have pieces of the flotsam and jetsam, if you will, for me, it was really the touchstone pieces of the Titanic, pieces of the ornate woodwork, deck chairs …

Terri: [00:03:11] the baby’s booties. 

David: [00:03:12] Oh yeah. Yeah. It’s just stuff like that.

That just really kind of hits home. And the Titanic story lives on, I mean, it’s now going towards the 110th anniversary of when she sank. Next April will be the 110th year and technology is out there. So you bring the events of that night to life. In fact, to website links, which you’ll find at the end of this recording one of them is the Titanic sinking itself. The Titanic took a little over two hours and 40 minutes to sink. She struck the iceberg on April the 14th, 1912, just a little bit before midnight. About 11:40, I believe. And then two hours and 40 minutes later all those souls perished. And so many did not make it especially third class passengers, second class passengers.

It kind of gives you, I don’t know, the best way I could say is like a forensic analysis. I mean, you saw the link to the video. It’s like timed in such a way. It reminds me a little bit at the 1997 movie that they did for Titanic and where they were showing the computer simulation when it was sinking and how she went up and then turn, broke and went down so many theories over the years and technology. And of course, Bob Ballard back in 1985 and all those from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute , I think the whole world was transfixed because something that even God himself could not sink, the Titanic was gone, on her maiden voyage.

And I think that that stayed with people for so many years. When Bob Ballard found the Titanic in 1985 with other members of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute on the ship the Knorr , there were still passengers who had survived that were still alive, including even adults.

And I know that I was transfixed because you know,  this is all newsworthy. Now, all of a sudden everybody’s talking about the survivors, I’m like, wow, wait a second. That was, you know, 1912. And here we are in 1985. 73 years ago.  Now we’re approaching, you know, 110 years afterwards.  I would find who were living in the newspaper articles and I’d write to them because I wanted to hear their stories. That led me to some really interesting adventures. Actually I think I’ve kind of shared with you that I I’ve met a couple of them. 

Terri: [00:05:55] You have, and honestly, as I’m sitting here listening to you talk again, and we’ve talked about this a lot, I just have so many questions. Like personally, I never would’ve thought to write to these people because like really do they want to relive it?

That would have been my thought,  I wouldn’t want to write about it and tell you about it because I don’t want to relive it. Did you ever get feedback like that? Like they just don’t want to talk about it. 

David: [00:06:18] I did talk to one of the survivors on the phone, that they basically had told me that basically call them.

And and I was like a little nervous and they said that they had lost most of their family and she was a small child. She didn’t remember a lot about it. She was actually the last American survivor. She actually lived in Massachusetts and I respected her wishes, you know, and obviously didn’t write her again.

What was kind of touching to have the chance to talk to her. Back in 1987, when they had the 75th anniversary at the Copley Hotel in Copley Square, Boston. Not far from where I work in Boston now at NEHGS, they had the 75th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and the observation, probably more fitting word than say the anniversary.

And then that’s where I met a number of passengers. It was Ava Hart who a lot of people might remember. She was from England. She was a child onboard the Titanic. There was Michael Marcel Navratil who was twin boys that were kidnapped by their father. And they were from France, boarded the Titanic under an assumed name. I met one of the brothers. 

There was Eleanor Schuman . There was oh gosh, I have to go back to my list here. Ruth Becker , Frank Aks , who was a young boy at the time. And then it was Bertram Dean . Bertram was a small toddler at the time and he actually got separated from his mother when they were in different lifeboats.

And when I was talking with him, I noticed there was a lady standing next to him and not getting a lot of attention from anybody per se. And I said, oh, you were related. She goes, oh yeah, that’s my brother. And I thought to myself, the story, I knew that Bertrand’s mother never remarried. And I said, so were you on the Titanic?

She goes, I was the youngest passenger, and that was Edith Gladys Millvina Dean . And that was 1987. And for every year, until she died in 2009, including a couple of times when she came back to Boston, I knew her very well. We were pen pals. She would send Christmas gifts to my oldest daughter, Brenda, signing it love Auntie Millvina.

Brenda would send her cards and me make jewelry for her and all that. And it really, really was a special relationship. We were sort of pen pals and of course you wouldn’t remember anything about the Titanic? Let me show you a picture of her.

So this is Millvina with her mother in 1912. Yeah, she was born in February and Titanic, of course sailed, you know, just a couple of months later. And this is a picture from about 1996. With me and Millvina. Now about 25 years ago when she was in Boston, this is a time where they had raised the large section of the Titanic up.

Well, they attempted to and fell back down. So but she came to Boston a couple of times and every time we would meet and we’d have a cup of tea,  she would bring back a little souvenir. Well, I suppose Millvina wouldn’t care. She had a little hankering for a little nip of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey once in a while.

And that could be how come she lived to be 97 years old. Maybe that was that good Tennessee whiskey. But no, she, she obviously was just having a little bit every so often. I remember going and getting a bottle for her. And the next time I said, Hey, do you need me to make a packy run for you again? She laughed. She was a sweet person. 

I had a chance to write to a lot of other passengers, including another lady who was from Massachusetts and her name was Marjorie Robb . Now Marjorie lived to be 103 and kind of like Rose Decatur from the Titanic movie. Marjorie Robb also lived to be over a hundred and, you know, as Rose Decatur was the last first-class passenger.

So was Marjorie Robb. I remember talking to Marjorie because here’s somebody who was born in 1889. Now Melvina was born in 1912. She doesn’t remember being on the vessel. And a lot of the other ones were toddlers or very small children. And some of them did have certain memories. Of course, you know, as frightening as it was, but here’s the last adult passenger and the last first-class passenger.

And I asked her, I said, Do you remember them playing Nearer My God to Thee, and she goes, you know, in all the chaos of what was going on that night. I do remember the band playing, but do I remember them playing that song? No. 

Terri: [00:11:21] How old was she? 

David: [00:11:22] She was 21 years of age. 

Terri: [00:11:25] Oh, okay. Okay. 

David: [00:11:26] Yeah. So she was an adult.

She was the last one. Passenger. I mean, everybody else was either, you know, 11 or 12 or five or six, or, you know, an infant like Melvina or a toddler, like Bertram or Michel Marcel Navratil. 

You know, I mean,  to shake hands, I mean, with Melvina was hugs and kisses and, you know, and, you know, corresponding, I mean, I cherish every letter, every envelope I have.

In fact, I even saved the wrappings from the packages that she would send Brenda, because it had all sorts of British stamps on it and all that. So.

Terri: [00:12:01] That’s very sweet. 

David: [00:12:02] I’ve got a great picture of my wife and Brenda and I at the same time this picture was taken here in Brenda, probably about, oh, not even a year old.

So that’s why I know this had taken place in 1996 in the summertime.  I mean, how many, you know, soon to be 26 year olds can say that they had a honorary great auntie who was on the Titanic and actually to be held by her at the time. So it was kind of a nice little way of connecting her with history.

Terri: [00:12:35] Absolutely. Yeah. 

That’s sweet. It’s a sweet picture. I’ve seen it on Facebook. 

David: [00:12:40] Yeah. Yeah. I, I probably could dig it up, but I figured I didn’t have to show my entire family photo album tonight. 

You know, besides seeing the video of sort of the real time of the Titanic for me, obviously I’d love to get in that submarine and go down and visit with the Titanic and see all the artifacts and see the vessel herself.

But obviously we can’t do that. And I think that it’s like $30,000 price tag. So they could probably rather do something else for $30,000. Maybe it’s even more expensive, but if you have a PC through YouTube, you can actually watch the video . Two hours long and it’s done by steam. So my computer is kind of historic.

So my VR headset, I’ve watched this video and it’s of course this is just the walk through. So there’s really, you can’t look up and down and left and right. It’s basically static. So, but this walk through is two hours long Terri and it’s already had 1.3 million views .

Terri: [00:13:49] Wow. 

David: [00:13:51] And so we’ll have that link for you at the end of the show as well.

Well, I hope that this has been an exciting overview of the Titanic and what, at least my history with it.

And of course, what Virtual Historians could possibly do. And there’s probably more things on there. And as I’ve said before, if you have a story that you think would be of interest by all means, let us know. And Terri’s going to give you a little bit of information about how we’re going to work episodes for the rest of the summer.

And maybe some of the guests we’re hoping to have back on. 

Terri: [00:14:25] So really quick before I go into that, I just want to say, even though the, the VR headset version of the walkthrough is amazing. If you want to see things firsthand and obviously not the ship, because that’s not possible. I definitely recommend if you’re in Ireland, Go to Belfast and see where they made the Titanic .

See what they have leftover there. It’s an amazing tour. And also in Cobh they have a museum there as well, and it works like a lot of the Holocaust museums do you’re given. a name. Right? And on your, so you get a ticket and you walk through the whole museum and it has what the cabins look like third class to first class.

It has the menus hanging up, like what they ate, right. It’s amazingly well done. And at the end, You find out whether your passenger, so the ticket you got, whether they survived or not. 

David: [00:15:19] You know, they had the traveling Titanic museum of the artifacts. And the first time I saw that was back in the nineties when it came to Boston and that’s actually when they successfully brought up the big piece and I remember walking around and being that close to the personal effects, belonged to the passengers and some of them for items that the person was still around, like they were descendants living, but their great grandparents may have died.

One of the things that really touched me were just like the things like the shoes. 

Terri: [00:15:55] Those baby booties, like it got me. 

David: [00:15:58] Let’s be serious when you saw the shoes on the ocean floor, those just weren’t random two shoes next to each other. That was a person. 

Terri: [00:16:06] Right? Right. Absolutely. Absolutely. 

David: [00:16:11] Yep. 

Terri: [00:16:12] So I was just gonna say those are just things that I think really you need to do. And I will tell you this the museum in Cobh is actually the old Cunard building. So it’s where they actually bought their tickets for the Titanic. 

David: [00:16:24] Yeah. I went to a Belfast a number of years ago and they were building the Titanic museum and the Northern Ireland archives at that point in time.

I went down to the docks where they actually, they built the Titanic in dry dock and for Harland and Wolff and to not to just stand there and just think that she was there. And it was, it was almost like, with the connection of having been interested in it now for well over 40 years.

The Titanic has always had a strong connection to me. And of course, having a, a dear friend for over 20 odd years, that was part of that story, will always be part of my family story. Right. 

Well just as a reminder, when we do the transatlantic, we’re going into Cobh, so we’ll make sure to do the museum tour there because I mean, you have to do it while you’re there.

Well, I know what I’m going to cross the Atlantic. This is my first time. I know we’re not going near where the Titanic sank, but when we’re about that line of longitude, I will definitely be thinking of them. 

Terri: [00:17:36] Absolutely. Absolutely. So,  those were my just little bits I wanted to add. So let’s talk about the rest of the summer real quick.

David: [00:17:44] As we said, in the last episode, We’re going to be kind of slowing down for the summer, but that doesn’t mean we’re not slowing down and looking for ideas. So we would love to hear from you and to find out what episodes that you liked, which ones maybe you didn’t like so much, any particular guests you’d like to have back on, or maybe you would like to be a guest. Because the best way to make Virtual Historians really work for you is to actually make it part of of your story. So as a historian or an archeologist or a genealogist, if Virtual Historians can be part of  expressing your story or the work you’re doing. I think Terri, you probably agree with me. I mean, this is how people can get their story out. 

Terri: [00:18:30] Absolutely. I mean, it’s like when we had Shannon on and she shared the story of Shuter’s Hill , right.

And that all started because she took her kids to the archeology dig there. So any piece of history can be talked about if you’re working with it or you’re touching it. 

David: [00:18:48] Right. And, and maybe something as personal as your own story, it doesn’t have to be like Daniel Horowitz, which we had a couple of times from MyHeritage talking about their product that they have for photography and bringing photographs to life.

And sometimes it’s archeologists or historians or genealogists sharing where technology and history kind of come together. And that’s what Virtual Historians is all about. And we’re really delighted that you’ve been a part of our adventure for the past number of months that we’ve been on as we’re approaching probably our year anniversary coming up.

Not, yeah, well, a few months down the road time flies when you’re having fun,

Terri: [00:19:32] it does. It does 

So the rest of the summer like we said, on our last episode. The episodes are going to be sporadic because most of the archeologists are out there working now. In the background, we’re going to be working on the website, look to put together a better logo gear shop for our fans. We’re also gonna be working on some reviews for some products that we’ve talked about in the past so that we can give input on what we think. So that was,  Forever, Clanview and we gave many reviews for MyHeritage as we talked about them. But those are the two that I was thinking about. So just be patient as they come through. And then when the new season comes in, of course, we’re going to try to get them back to weekly.

In the meantime, we are definitely looking for people who want to be guests in the next coming season. If you’re touching history, we want to hear from you. If you’re finding things from history, we want to hear from you. If your kid found a sword in the mud, we want to hear from you. They’re all just great stories.

If you found a ship while you were on vacation, send us an email. 

David: [00:20:44] Don’t forget if your kid pulls the sword out of a stone, let us know. We want that breaking story first. 

Terri: [00:20:50] Absolutely. Absolutely. 

David: [00:20:55] All right. Well until next time, this is David and Terri virtually yours, signing off.

Titanic Virtual Field Trip

Set sail with your students on an EPIC Titanic Virtual Field Trip experience discovering facts, information, and details about the RMS Titanic . The sinking of the Titanic is interesting to so many, even over 100 years after the tragedy. The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, into freezing water in the Atlantic Ocean, where the remains of the ship still lie. Artifacts, pictures, videos, and webcam footage are now available, so we can see the Titanic in real-time. This makes for exciting Titanic interactive activities.

It could just be because I'm an 80s baby, but I loved the Titanic movie when I was younger. I mean the love story of Rose and Jack is definitely one to remember. And that blue necklace, who could forget that? Watching that movie sparked my interest about the Titanic. In my years of teaching, I have found most of students are just as curious about the Titanic and traveling under the sea to see and learn more. Creating this Titanic activities for students was so much fun for me and I learn cool facts and information.

Allow students to become a visitor on the famous RMS Titanic . This once-in-a-lifetime experience will be one your students will always remember. Visiting the location via webcam and seeing actual footage of the Titanic is so cool. Bring one of the most memorable, modern-day events in history to life for students!

You will check out artifacts and view webcam footage of the Titanic roughly 12,600 feet underwater in the Atlantic Ocean. Also included is information about the passengers who experienced this beautiful ship and about the tragic night of the sinking. This is so cool and I bet your students will too!

Titanic Virtual Field Trip Experience

Titanic Virtual Field Trip is for everyone! Whether you are searching for a fun Friday activity or a standards-based activity, this one is for you! So much is jammed packed into this ready-to-go resource.

I had so much fun creating this resource. I have always found the Titanic interesting, even as a student. While being creative, I learned so much more about the night of the sinking and many of the passengers onboard. 

This is a great resource for many reasons. First, this topic will keep students engaged. Second, you can tie in social-emotional learning and ask your students to imagine the emotions and experiences of the passengers on board. For example, how do you think it felt to be a first-class or 3rd-class passenger? Also, how do you think the passengers felt watching the ship go down into the freezing Atlantic Ocean? Do you think the people who were able to get on a lifeboat felt guilt or do you think they felt relief?

Titanic First Class Activities

A Titanic virtual field trip is a great resource for elementary and upper elementary students. This is also ideal for middle school students. Students will enjoy the in-depth view and experience from each video. All of the work has been done for you.

The unsinkable Molly Brown and many other memorable people who travel on the Titanic are included in this resource. I have always found Molly Brown interesting! The musicians were also a big part of the Titanic especially the night of the sinking.

Here’s what included:

• PowerPoint Presentation (Full Color) with 24 slides
• The PowerPoint Presentation has several YouTube links available to provide an in-depth look.
• Titanic Virtual Field Trip Video
• Titanic Virtual Field Trip Reflection 
• The Unsinkable Molly Brown Q & A Activity
• Titanic Timeline Activity
• Titanic Tribute Newspapers Activity
• Artifacts Video Link
• Musicians of the Titanic Video Link
• First-Class Cabins Video Link
• Third-Class Cabins Video Link
• A Trip of a Lifetime Video Link
• Building the Titanic Video Link

This resource is offered in PowerPoint format as well as Google Slides. I wanted to provide two versions so every teacher could implement this resource. As I said before, I had so much fun creating this resource. Each video dives deeper into specific topics so students get a real-life experience of the Titanic . Each slide has clipart that fits the theme perfectly and is age-appropriate. Titanic first class passenger activities provides students with a cool experience and a deeper understanding of the Titanic.

Whether you are looking for a standards-based activity, extension assignment for students, or a fun academic unit for the end of the school year, this Titanic Virtual Field Trip is perfect. As you can already tell, this Titanic Virtual Field Trip is jam-packed with facts, information, and several student-friendly activities!

I hope you and your students have as much fun learning and traveling under water to learn more about the Titanic. The videos and virtual trip experience is sure to be one students will love and remember.

A remarkable new view of the Titanic shipwreck is here, thanks to deep-sea mappers

Rachel Treisman

Scientists were able to map the entirety of the shipwreck site, from the Titanic's separated bow and stern sections to its vast debris field. Atlantic/Magellan hide caption

Scientists were able to map the entirety of the shipwreck site, from the Titanic's separated bow and stern sections to its vast debris field.

A deep sea-mapping company has created the first-ever full-sized digital scan of the Titanic, revealing an entirely new view of the world's most famous shipwreck.

The 1912 sinking of the Titanic has captivated the public imagination for over a century. And while there have been numerous expeditions to the wreck since its discovery in 1985, its sheer size and remote position — some 12,500 feet underwater and 400 nautical miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada — have made it nearly impossible for anyone to see the full picture.

Until now, that is. Using technology developed by Magellan Ltd., scientists have managed to map the Titanic in its entirety, from its bow and stern sections (which broke apart after sinking) to its 3-by-5-mile debris field.

Newly released footage of a 1986 Titanic dive reveals the ship's haunting interior

The result is an exact "digital twin" of the wreck, media partner Atlantic Productions said in a news release.

"What we've created is a highly accurate photorealistic 3D model of the wreck," 3D capture specialist Gerhard Seiffert says. "Previously footage has only allowed you to see one small area of the wreck at a time. This model will allow people to zoom out and to look at the entire thing for the first time ... This is the Titanic as no one had ever seen it before."

The Titanic site is hard to get to, hard to see and hard to describe, says Jeremy Weirich, the director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Ocean Exploration program (he's been to the site).

Pop Culture Happy Hour

'titanic' was king of the world 25 years ago for a good reason.

"Imagine you're at the bottom of the ocean, there's no light, you can't see anything, all you have is a flashlight and that beam goes out by 10 feet, that's it," he says. "It's a desert. You're moving along, you don't see anything, and suddenly there's a steel ship in front of you that's the size of a skyscraper and all you can see is the light that's illuminated by your flashlight."

This new imagery helps convey both that sense of scale and level of detail, Weirich tells NPR.

Magellan calls this the largest underwater scanning project in history: It generated an unprecedented 16 terabytes of data and more than 715,000 still images and 4k video footage.

"We believe that this data is approximately ten times larger than any underwater 3D model that's ever been attempted before," said Richard Parkinson, Magellan founder and CEO.

James Cameron aims to finally put that 'Titanic' door debate to rest, 25 years later

Experts in Titanic history and deep-sea exploration are hailing the model as an invaluable research tool. They believe it could help scientists and historians solve some of the ship's lingering mysteries — and learn more about other underwater sites, too.

Longtime Titanic explorer and analyst Parks Stephenson described the model as a "game changer" in a phone interview with NPR.

"It takes [us] further into new technology that's going to be the standard, I think, not just for Titanic exploration, but all underwater exploration in the future," he adds.

A project years in the making, featuring Romeo and Juliet

Explorers and artists have spent decades trying to depict the Titanic wreck, albeit in lower-tech ways.

After Robert Ballard — along with France's Jean-Louis Michel — discovered the site in 1985, he combined all of his photos to form the first photomosaic of the wreck, which showed the ship's bow and was published in National Geographic. Those efforts have been replicated in the years since.

"But the problem with all that is it requires interpretation," Stephenson says. "It requires human interpretation, and there are gaps in the knowledge."

Author Interviews

From cannibalism to cover-up, david grann sees his new shipwreck mystery as a parable.

Flash forward to the summer of 2022. Scientists spent six weeks capturing scans of the site, using technology that Magellan says it had been developing over the course of five years.

The expedition deployed two submersibles, named Romeo and Juliet, some 2.3 miles below the surface to map every millimeter of the wreck site.

They didn't go inside the ship, let alone touch the site, in accordance with existing regulations, and paid their respects to the more than 1,500 victims with a flower laying ceremony.

And they describe the mission as a challenge, with the team fighting bad weather and technical challenges in the middle of the Atlantic.

Titanic: Voyage To The Past

James cameron: diving deep, dredging up titanic.

"When we saw the data come in it was all worth it," Seiffert says. "The level of detail we saw and recorded was extraordinary."

The scientists spent months processing and rendering the data to create the "digital twin," which the company says it's looking forward to sharing publicly.

Stephenson saw an early version of the model, when Atlantic Productions brought him on to consult on its validity. So did Ken Marschall, the maritime artist known for his Titanic paintings.

"We've both seen it with our eyes. We've both seen thousands of digital images of the wreck in imagery, moving imagery," Stephenson said. "But we'd never seen the wreck like this. It was different, but at the same time you just knew it was right."

Experts say the model will be a valuable tool for future Titanic research and deep-sea exploration in general. Atlantic/Magellan hide caption

There's still a lot left to learn about the Titanic

Can there really be that much left to discover about the Titanic, more than 110 years on?

Stephenson says "at the end of the day, none of this matters." But there's a reason people keep visiting and talking about the wreck, he adds, and it's not because of any buried treasure.

"It's fame, I guess," Stephenson says. "People can't get enough of Titanic. And as long as people can't get enough of the Titanic, people will keep going to ... these mysteries."

TED Radio Hour

Robert ballard: what hidden underwater worlds are left to discover.

In Stephenson's case, it's the unanswered questions that keep drawing him back.

"I've been grinding away at this for a while, and I'm not on a crusade to dismantle the Titanic narrative that has grown since 1912," he says. "But ... I have had enough experience and seen enough evidence that makes me seriously question even some of the most basic aspects of the Titanic story."

One example: Stephenson says there's reason to doubt the long-accepted conclusion that the ship hit the iceberg along its starboard side. He points to a growing body of evidence that suggests it actually grounded briefly on part of the iceberg that was submerged underwater instead.

Just looking at the preliminary modeling has helped Stephenson bring a lot of his evidence and questions into focus — it may be early days, but he says he already has a better understanding of how the ship's stern came to be in such bad shape.

Searching The Ocean's Depths For Future Medicines

Stephenson sees this moment as a paradigm shift in underwater archaeology.

"We're essentially getting to the end of the first generation of Titanic research and exploration, and we're getting ready to transition into the next generation," he says. "And I think this tool basically signals a shift from that generation to the next."

Stephenson wants to use the model to document the extent of Titanic exploration up to this point, from Ballard to James Cameron and beyond. He says a "massive project" is underway, and will hopefully result in a scientific paper and online archive. Then, he plans to use the tool to answer whatever questions remain.

The Titanic is a gateway into deep ocean exploration

As a maritime archaeologist, Weirich is most interested in what the ship's condition can teach us about how to better preserve deep-sea shipwrecks in general. For example, how has it impacted the environment since it sunk, and how have the visits since its discovery impacted the site?

The Titanic site has been designated as a maritime memorial, which makes preservation even more important. And Weirich says research on everything from its rate of deterioration to the microbial environment can be applied to other such sites worldwide.

Scientists discover fantastical creatures deep in the Indian Ocean

There are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of wrecks in the world, from ancient wooden ships in the Black Sea to World War II vessels in the Gulf of Mexico, Weirich says.

And this kind of technology could play a crucial role in learning more about deep-sea environments in general, from undersea resources to geological features to unknown species.

Weirich says he hopes these images of the Titanic will give people a greater appreciation for the deep ocean, and a better understanding of just how much is left to explore.

Your Next Car May Be Built With Ocean Rocks. Scientists Can't Agree If That's Good

"The story of Titanic and the shipwreck itself is extremely compelling, but it is a gateway for people to understand what we know and don't know about the deep ocean," he adds.

Weirich remembers being personally captivated by those first images of the shipwreck in National Geographic when he was just 10 years old. That sparked his lifelong interest in ocean exploration — and he hopes young people seeing these latest images are inspired too.

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit

• Leave First Review
• Art Exhibition

The Titanic was built by the British “White Star Line” Company. It was conceived in 1907 and sank during its maiden voyage in 1912 in the North Atlantic.

At the time, it was the largest ship ever built and the largest moving object ever created by man. It was supposed to be unsinkable. The Titanic was huge and luxurious, a miracle in the history of the world. Its brief existence was fraught with the drama of a Greek tragedy. It left behind many stories, legends, and mysteries.

Although people will always remember the touching story of the Titanic, and its story has been told and retold, it has never been more poignantly presented than by the artifacts presented in this exhibition. Today, we are honored to present this exhibition to a Chinese audience. We hope that these living cultural relics will inspire and educate you.

The Titanic exhibition displays more than 300 cultural relics salvaged from the Atlantic Ocean, 2.5 miles (more than 4000 meters) deep. Viewing the exhibition reminds us of our common humanity. Objects as commonplace as a vase, a silk tie , and a postcard, are filled with a silent language，reminding us of life’s fragility and the importance of loved ones. The proud prediction that the ship would never sink was destroyed by the merciless sea. The story of the Titanic reminds us that men cannot rely too much on science and technology. And, a once shimmering gold watch，its hands swept away by the frigid waters of the North Atlantic，warns that wealth does not insulate against tragedy.

Today, we commemorate the Titanic, and we’re still trying to unravel the mystery of the wreck. We commemorate those who boarded the ship for its fateful maiden voyage.

It seems that the mysterious night was decreed by fate. But how did the shipwreck happen? Why did the disaster occur? What is the story of the ship sailing towards death? Now we ask you to imagine yourself as a passenger boarding the Titanic!

Titanic Experience Cobh

Places to See | Co. Cork, Ireland

Cobh (Formerly Queenstown) is located on Great Island within Cork Harbour. It is a picturesque seaside town steeped in Maritime History.

Cobh was the last port of call for the ocean liner Titanic. The Titanic Experience has secured the original offices of the White Star Line, the point of departure for the last passengers to board Titanic. At 1:30 pm on April 11 1912, tenders carried 123 passengers out to the ship from the offices of the White Star Line.

This Cork Visitor Attraction allows visitors to follow, literally, in the footsteps of the passengers as they embarked on the fateful voyage. It brings to life the experience on board, sharing the highs and lows of an early 20th century luxury cruise liner through clever set designs, audio visual aids, cinematic shows, holographic imagery and touch screen technology.

Importantly, this is the sole exhibition with a focus on the passengers who boarded at Cobh highlighting the intimate Irish connection to this legendary story.

The technical wizardry is impressive but what we found most memorable is standing where passengers were ferried to the waiting ship offshore, never to return. Still in existence at the rear of the building are the remains of the pier along which the passengers would have walked to board the tenders which took them to Titanic.

The visitor experience is presented in two parts. The first is an exciting immersive audio visual tour retracing the steps of the 123 passengers who boarded Titanic from Cobh on April 11th 1912.

The second part of Titanic Experience examines how it all went wrong; the unbelievable and “almost” impossible sequence of events that occurred to cause Titanic to sink.

Finally, the Story Room of Touchscreen Computers allows one to look at the personalities on board the ship and in particular to discover the fate of the 123 Queenstown passengers.

Opening Hours Open 7 Days per Week

• May to September 9:00am to 6:00pm. Last Tour 5:15pm. Tours run every 15 minutes throughout the day
• October to April 10:00am to 5:30pm. Last Tour 4:45pm. Tours run every 30 minutes throughout the day

Address:  Titanic Experience Cobh, White Star Line Building, 20 Casement Square, Cobh, Co. Cork Ireland
