'Rare, uncut' video of the 1986 dive exploring the Titanic wreckage to be released
"More than a century after the loss of Titanic, the human stories embodied in the great ship continue to resonate," said Cameron in a statement provided by the institute."Like many, I was transfixed when Alvin and Jason Jr. ventured down to and inside the wreck. By releasing this footage, WHOI is helping tell an important part of a story that spans generations and circles the globe.
About 2,200 people were aboard the ocean liner — heralded as"unsinkable" and designed to be the most luxurious ship available — when it set out into the North Atlantic on its maiden voyage. About 1,500 people died after the ship struck an iceberg and sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912. Only about 700 passengers and crew members survived to be rescued by the R.M.S. Carpathia. The bow of the Titanic as it was found in 1986.
Dana Yoerger, a WHOI engineer and a member of both the 1985 and 1986 missions, said the 1986 expedition"changed how we explore the deep ocean." "The human-occupied submersible Alvin brought scientists down 12,500 feet to the Titanic," Yoerger said in a statement."Operating from Alvin, we used the Jason Jr robot to penetrate Titanic and transmit images of the ship's interior while the people remained safely outside the wreckage. For WHOI and the entire ocean research community, these advances provided an important foundation for modern deep-sea exploration technology.
