Bookmarked 542 weeks ago remains of the 100 year old titanic mystery - titanic real story documentary - documentary films hdtitanic was long thought to have sunk in one piece and over the years many schemes were put forward for raising the wreck none came to fruition the fundamental problem was the sheer difficulty of finding and reaching a wreck that lies over 12000 feet 3700 m below the surface in a location where the water pressure is over 6500 pounds per square inch a number of expeditions were mounted to find titanic but it was not until 1 september 1985 that a franco-american expedition led by robert ballard succeeded the team discovered that titanic had in fact split apart probably near or at the surface before sinking to the seabed the separated bow and stern sections lie about a third of a mile 06 km apart in a canyon on the continental shelf off the coast of newfoundland they are located 132 miles 212 km from the inaccurate coordinates given by titanic039s radio operators on the night of her sinking and approximately 715 miles 1151 km from halifax and 1250 miles 2012 km from new yorkboth sections hit the sea bed at considerable speed causing the bow to crumple and the stern to collapse entirely the bow is by far the more intact section and still contains some surprisingly intact interiors in contrast the stern is completely wrecked its decks have pancaked down on top of each much and other of the hull plating was torn off and lies scattered across the sea floor the much greater level of damage to the stern is probably due to structural damage incurred during the sinking thus weakened the remainder of the stern was flattened by the impact with the sea bed the two sections are surrounded by a debris field measuring approximately 5 by 3 miles it contains hundreds of thousands of items such as pieces of the ship furniture dinnerware and personal items which fell from the ship as she sank or were ejected when the bow and stern impacted on the sea floor the debris field was also the last resting place of a number of titanic039s victims most of the bodies and clothes were consumed by sea creatures and bacteria leaving pairs of shoes and boots-- which have proved to be inedible-- as the only sign that bodies once lay theretitanic was long thought to have sunk in one piece and over the years many schemes were put forward for raising the wreck the fundamental problem was the sheer difficulty of finding and reaching a wreck that lies over 12000 feet 3700 m below the surface in a location where the water pressure is over 6500 pounds per square inch a number of expeditions were mounted to find titanic but it was not until 1 september 1985 that a franco-american expedition led by robert ballard succeeded the team discovered that titanic had in fact split apart probably near or at the surface before sinking to the seabed the debris field was also the last resting place of a number of titanic039s victimsmore documentary films video:http:documentaryfilmshdblogspotcomsubscribe to our channel for more documentary films hd: http:wwwyoutubecomchannelucwer2j-7wdjgz5f8wydrmswsub_confirmation=1 |
