New high-definition video of the Titanic is exciting experts as unnoticed details are revealed.
In 1912, the luxury ocean liner sank after colliding with an iceberg during its journey from Southampton, England, to New York City. Over 2,000 passengers and workers were on board. More than 1,500 were killed as a result of the collision.Over 100 years later, experts are still discovering details about the ship and its passengers with the help of new technology. OceanGate Expeditions released new 8K footage of the ship on Tuesday, displaying the ship in great detail.
"I had never seen the name of the anchor maker, Noah Hingley & Sons Ltd., on the portside anchor. I’ve been studying the wreck for decades and have completed multiple dives, and I can't recall seeing any other image showing this level of detail," said Rory Golden, an OceanGate Expeditions Titanic expert and veteran Titanic diver.
“Early in the video you can see the crane used for deploying the enormous 15-ton anchor still located on the deck of the shipwreck and the shackle that was originally attached to the main mast that has now collapsed,” added P.H. Nargeolet, a Veteran Nautile submersible pilot and Titanic diver. “Later in the video, you see three round structures along the inside of the railing.
The footage reveals in great detail the"Titanic’s renowned bow, the portside anchor, hull No. 1, an enormous anchor chain — each link weighs approximately 200 pounds or nearly 91 kilograms — the No. 1 cargo hold, and solid bronze capstans," according to a press release."One of the most amazing clips shows one of the single-ended boilers that fell to the ocean’s floor when the Titanic broke into two.
The wreck of the ship lies in the Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 12,600 feet. It is located about 370 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
