It was almost 84 years until they found the Titanic shipwreck.
Footage filmed in 1986 of the Titanic lying at the bottom of the ocean has been released to the public for the first time.
In July 1986, cameras on a human-occupied submarine captured the wreck with help from the remotely operated Jason Junior vehicle.For the best part of a century, technical limitations and a vast search area made finding the wreck impossible. The Jason Junior camera was controlled from Alvin, a deep-ocean three-man research submersible operated by the Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution .
Oceanographer Robert Ballard who descended 2.5 miles beneath the sea in 1986 says he saw a “giant wall of riveted steel that rose over 100 plus feet above us.”Ballard says the only clues he saw of the terrible human suffering were shoes, including the footwear of a mother and a baby.
