It's the most famous sunken ship in history. The RMS Titanic—lost in 1912, along with the lives of roughly 1,500 of its passengers and crew—was rediscovered in 1985 by a Franco-American expedition team under the leadership of Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel. Finally, researchers and historians had more than eyewitness accounts to look to so that they might understand what had occurred on the night of April 14, 1912.
The analysis of that shipwreck over the decades has yielded invaluable information, much of which confirmed what those who survived the wreckage had relayed. This was vital, because at the time the wreckage was found, fewer than ten Titanic survivors were still alive. The last living survivor, Millvina Dean, passed away in 2009.
But, with the ravages that come from being submerged within the belly of the ocean, time can claim steel and wrought iron just as it can flesh and blood. |
