Down into the Deep
—Using high tech to explore the Titanic
After resting on the ocean floor,split asunder and rusting,for nearly three-quarters of a century,a great ship seemed to come alive again.The saga of the White Star liner Titanic,which struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in 1912,carrying more than 1500 passengers to their deaths,has been celebrated in print and on film,in poetry and song.But last week what had been legendary suddenly became real.As they viewed videotapes and photographs of the sunken leviathan,millions of people around the world could sense her mass,her eerie quiet and the ruined splendor of a lost age.
Watching on television,they vicariously joined the undersea craft Alvin and Jason Jr.as they toured the wreckage of the luxury liner,wandering across the decks past corroded bollards,peering into the offices’ quarters and through rust-curtained portholes.Views of the railings where doomed passengers and crewmembers stood evoked images of the moonless night 74 years ago when the great ship slipped beneath the waves.
The two-minute videotape and nine photographs,all in color and shot 12500 ft.under the North Atlantic,were a tiny sample of the 60 hours of video and 60000 stills garnered during the twelve-day exploration.They were released at a Washington press conference conducted by Marine Geologist Robert Ballard,44,who led the teams from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution that found the Titanic last September and revisited it this July.
Recounting the highlights of what has already become the most celebrated feat of underwater exploration,Ballard revealed some startling new information.His deep-diving craft failed to find the 300-ft.gash that,according to legend,was torn in the Titanic’s hull when the ship plowed into the iceberg.Instead,he suggested,the collision had buckled the ship’s plates,allowing water to pour in.He also brought back evidence that the ship broke apart not when she hit bottom,as he had thought when viewing the first Titanic images last September,but as she sank:the stern,which settled on the bottom almost 1800ft.,from the bow,had swiveled 180°on its way down.
