Titan Wreck Pictured at Bottom of Ocean as Last Messages Revealed
Deep-sea explorers have captured the first images of the RMS Titanic wreck since 1998, revealing new details about the ship's final moments.
The images were taken by a team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with a high-resolution camera.
The ROV was able to navigate through the Titanic's wreckage, which is located about 12,500 feet below the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean.
The images show the Titanic's bow, which has been largely intact since the ship sank in 1912.
They also show the ship's stern, which has been heavily damaged over the years.
The ROV also collected sonar data that revealed new details about the Titanic's final moments.
The data shows that the ship broke apart into two main pieces as it sank.
The bow section landed on the ocean floor about 1,200 feet away from the stern section.
The ROV also discovered new debris from the Titanic, including pieces of the ship's hull and furniture.
The new images and data are providing valuable new insights into the Titanic's sinking.
They are also helping to preserve the wreck for future generations.
The WHOI team plans to return to the Titanic wreck in 2023 to conduct further research.
They hope to learn more about the ship's final moments and to recover more artifacts from the wreck.
In addition to the new images and data, the WHOI team also released the last messages sent from the Titanic.
The messages were sent by the ship's wireless operators as the ship was sinking.
They provide a chilling glimpse into the Titanic's final moments.
One of the messages reads:
“We are sinking fast. Abandon ship.”
Another message reads:
“We have struck an iceberg and are sinking.”
The last message sent from the Titanic was:
“All hands on deck.”
The new images, data, and messages are providing a wealth of new information about the Titanic's sinking.
They are helping to solve the mystery of what happened to the ship on that fateful night in 1912.
