Diving into History: Rare video of 1986 Dive in Titanic Wreck Released

Newly released video footage of the 1986 dive on the wreckage of the Titanic is making headlines. This footage, which includes never-before-seen footage, was provided by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the group responsible for developing imaging technology that enabled humans to see the wreckage nearly 75 years after it sank 2.4 miles below the ocean’s surface.

The video, which lasts more than 80 minutes, documents the significant achievements of the expedition led by Robert Ballard. The 1986 dive marked the first time since the Titanic sank in the frigid North Atlantic, that human eyes had seen the giant ocean liner.

The Titanic met its tragic fate on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City in April 1912, with approximately 1500 people losing their lives.

This footage is being released on the 25th anniversary of the release of the Academy Award-winning movie, “Titanic.” The release of this video footage has sparked renewed interest in the Titanic, a ship that has long captivated the public’s imagination.
