They photograph the remains of the Titanic for the first time in fourteen years

The group of explorers Caladan Oceanic has managed to photograph the remains of the Titanic, located north of the Atlantic Ocean, for the first time in fourteen years, according to a producer, Atlantic Productions.

This company, winner of the Bafta Award, will publish the results of the expedition in a documentary.

The liner, sunk in April 1912 on its maiden voyage between the English city of Southampton and New York, remained in the dark for fourteen years until this initiative brought it back to light.

Thanks to an inhabited submarine, the experts managed to take several snapshots showing the current state of the remains of the ship, located 3.8 km deep, about 600 km off the coast of Newfoundland (Canada ).

Five dives over eight days were needed to take these photos in 4K quality and show the ship like never before.

Victor Vescovo, chief of exploration, explained that he was not prepared for "the immensity of the ship" and that it was "extraordinary" to be able to surrender at the edge of the Titanic and see the lights of his boat reflect it.

Lori Johnson, one of the scientists who accompanied Vescovo in the adventure, said the remains of the ship would continue to deteriorate as part of a "natural process".

Located at a depth where the water temperature is about 1 degree Celsius, the ship is defenseless against the sea currents and the attack of bacteria that kills certain parts of the ship, such as the captain's cabins.

During the stay, the team laid a wreath and held a small ceremony in the honor of more than 1,400 people who lost their lives during the accident occurred there are more of them. a century.
