THE GREAT TITANIC

The Titanic before sinking in 1912 and its wreckage today

The remains of the Titanic are about 4km deep, 650km east of Canada, near the island of Newfoundland

First identified in 1985, the ship is currently broken in two, with each piece 600 meters apart.

The bow (front) is well preserved, but the stern (back) is in ruins (pictures 7 and 8)

Inside, the Titanic was consumed by several microbial colonies

As a result, the wreckage of the ship is too fragile to lift to the surface.

As an example, the Grand Staircase became a great chasm (image 2)

The passengers' bodies have since been consumed by other organisms, although shoes and jewelry have since been found 😵‍💫

Several expeditions have already taken place to the ruins of the Titanic for scientific, documentary and tourist purposes.

For example, in 2005 James Cameron visited the location to film "The Last Mysteries" and "Titanic's Final Moments: Missing Pieces"

No accidents had occurred on an expedition to see the Titanic...until June of this year

The company OceanGate, which has been carrying out tourist dives at the site since 2010, had already been warned by several professionals that its safety model was "amateurish"

This was revealed to the world in 2023 when his submarine, Titan, which charged $250,000 per person, imploded, killing 2 crew members and 3 tourists.

How did the Titanic sink? ⚓️

In 1912, the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic set out on a voyage from Southampton, England, to New York with 2200 passengers.

She was the largest ship ever built in the world at that time.

On a moonless, windless, and waveless night, this made the iceberg ahead of the ship almost imperceptible.

With enough lifeboats to save only half the crew, 1500 people died: about 68% of the passengers.

The accident led several countries to review their maritime safety standards, in operation until
today.
