"Captain's bathtub is a favorite image among the Titanic enthusiasts, and that's now gone," Stephenson added. "That whole deck hole on that side is collapsing, taking with it the state rooms, and the deterioration is going to continue advancing."
Just in time for the 100th anniversary of the most storied maritime disaster in history, National Geographic magazine and a team of researchers have unveiled new images of the Titanic, revealing unrestricted views of the wreck for the first time ever.
The detailed, sweeping images of the sunken ship were made by stitching together hundreds of optical and sonar images collected by three deep-diving robots during a 2010 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution expedition.
RMS Titanic (a subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions Inc. and the only company permitted by law to recover objects from the wreck of Titanic) will be adding both still images and interactive applications of the work done by WHOI to its touring exhibits, "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition." A full list of cities where these mosaics and more exclusive content from the most recent expedition will be on display is available online at www.rmstitanic.net.
Cameron's inspiration for the film came from his fascination with shipwrecks; he felt a love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential to convey the emotional impact of the disaster. Production began on September 1, 1995,[15] when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The modern scenes on the research vessel were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron had used as a base when filming the wreck. Scale models, computer-generated imagery, and a reconstruction of the Titanic built at Baja Studios were used to re-create the sinking. The film was co-financed by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox; the former handled distribution in North America while the latter released the film internationally. It was the most expensive film ever made at the time, with a production budget of $200 million. Filming took place from July 1996 to March 1997.
Plus, what can I say? We clearly love photo mysteries. And although I had come across these images last week while digging around for old Titanic photos, I didn't come across the back story on the Library of Congress blog until yesterday.
Given the massive scale of the wreck and the debris field, multiple missions performed over several years will be required to fully document and model the wreck site. This longitudinal survey to collect images, videos, laser, and sonar data will allow objective assessment of the rate of decay and documentation of the process.
Turning its sights to the constellation Sagittarius, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a spectacular image of a star in its death throes some 15,000 light years away, NASA announced on Tuesday.
First-class passengers aboard the Titanic had access not only to squash courts and Turkish baths, but to another amenity, as well: a shipboard gymnasium. The facility, pictured here in colorized black-and-white, featured the 1912 versions of equipment that will be familiar to modern-day gym-goers, among them stationary bikes and rowing machines. (The curved contraption in tan at the left of the image is a machine that has since gone out of style, at least in exercise facilities: the "electric horse.") The gym was open for women between 9:00 am and noon, and for men between 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm. (Children were allowed inside only between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm.) The facility was presided over by Titanic's physical educator, Thomas McCauley, who, in the early morning of April 15, remained at his post as the ship sank.

The footage was captured during OceanGate Expeditions' 2022 Titanic Expedition as dive experts, Titanic historians and research scientists explored the wreck and analyzed the images and data alongside members of the public who applied and reserved spots to join.
In comparing footage and images from 2021, we do see slight changes in certain areas of the wreck," said Stockton Rush, president of OceanGate Expeditions, in the release. "Our science team will be reviewing the 8K, 4K, and other footage captured during the 2022 Titanic Expedition for any changes. Having experts aboard the Titan submersible when we dive allows them to assess the shipwreck through direct observation, guide our exploration of different features of the wreck, and continue their study using the imagery."
Well, if you are curious to know, a recent photo shows that. In a photo shared by Reddit user @Mr_R0mpers you can see a modern cruise ship and the RMS titanic being compared. The image depicts the original Titanic ship, with a modern cruise ship. One can see a noticeable difference between the height and size of both.
This image was shared just a few hours back on Reddit. Since being shared, it has been liked 1500 times and has several comments as well. One person in the Reddit comments wrote, "I know there's perfectly sound logic and science behind it, but I still refuse to believe that those behemoths can safely stay afloat. It's terrifying to me." Another user said, "Reminds me of when the Queen Mary came to Manhattan. Amazing seeing how small it was when docked next to Royal Caribbean's "Monstrosity of the Seas." A third person said, "Modern cruise ships are basically floating cities."
Given the incredible detail in the image, the photo was almost certainly captured on a glass-plate camera, according to Aldridge. An early camera technology, glass-plate devices capture images by exposing thin glass plates to light. 041b061a72
