Would anyone happen to know if there have been any recent dives to the Lusitania in the last twelve-eighteen months or so ? Or if any are planned for the near future ?
The last big expedition that was that done for the "Dark Secrets of the Lusitania" documentary a few years back wasn't it ?

I can't imagine how hard it must have been for Jack Grimm and Robert Ballard during their searching expeditions with a tight deadline. They were indeed looking for a very small needle in a very large haystack.
She could just as easily have not been found.
The film's frame story is set during the modern salvage work on the wreck, so I doubt that Cameron would've even made this film if the wreck wasn't found.
It would also look very different if Cameron showed the ship sinking in one piece if the wreck was found to be intact.
I think it would. Here is a timeline I came up with inspired by The Man in the High Castle.
1945: The Axis Powers win World War II.
1955: Because of the Axis Victory and their conquering the world, Walter Lord's book A Night to Remember is never published, and interest in the Titanic is not...
It seems kind of funny to me that Jacques Cousteau found the wreck of the Titanic's sister ship Britannic a decade before Robert Ballard found the Titanic and man landed on the moon in 1969, but we couldn't find the wreck of the Titanic on the bottom of the ocean on our own planet until two...
In the disaster film Deep Impact, a comet hits the Atlantic Ocean off of Cape Hatteras, causing a megatsunami that devastates the coasts of the Atlantic continents, and completely destroys New York City. Here is the clip from the film.
If this were to happen, would the ocean floor of the...
Now I know this is probably a really stupid idea... But I just can't seem to shake it.
As I'd imagine most of us know, no physical bodies remain in the wreck site and it has caused a bit of debate between people when it comes to the wreck itself (Viewing the wreck as a Gravesite or as a...
Hi All,
I've just posted some links to a model I built of the Stern Section of the Titanic wreck on the model forum, so I'd like to add these links here - I used Photogrammetry to scan the Hand Built model into a 3D model and produce these short sequences based on it. Hope you like them...
Hi All,
This is my first post here as a member. I'd like to share a project I've been working on for some time now - a scratch build of Titanic's stern section as it looked in 1986. It's been a long term project and it's only entering it's final phase now, as I begin to build the wreckage for...
Before the wreck was found, people thought some or at least one of the funnels would still be on the ship, like in this early painting by Ken Marschall.
And in Clive Cussler's 1976 novel Raise the Titanic!, the fourth funnel has fallen over across the aft boat deck, and it is removed by...
In Vol. 7 of The Golden Book History of the United States, titled "The Age of Steel: From 1889 to 1917", which was published in 1963, about United States History, a page is shown in the book with a painting of the Titanic splitting in half by the famous American painter Alton Tobey.

I am making a stern wreck model and since the TRMA page is no longer operational I have lost alot of references, so anybody that could link me to videos or photos to the stern wreck I would be very greatful.
Odd topic but i thought it worth while, since Roy Mengot passing iv been concerned that his pages with in most cases exclusive info regarding the wreck and photo's from 1985/86 and while the Archive.org can do lots, many images may disappear over time. Thus this inspired me to go in and archive...
Hello all.
I have looked closely at the images showing Captain Smith's bathtub in the wreck. It's obvious his bedroom and sitting room are pretty much destroyed but I did notice some interesting things in the photo of his bath tub.
There might be luggage or other personal effects beneath the...
OK. The wreck of the Titanic was discovered more than 73 years after the ship sank, Then it has been 32+ years since then. Based on reports by various expeditions, how much worse is the deterioration of the wreck? Has there been a lot of obvious decay between 1985 and the present day?
With the help Of Ken i have been able to find a huge archive of like 4 hours of JC'S dives. They can be viewed publicly but you need a account to download them.

Oh and here is some raw unedited footage of Jim's reaction to finding the bath's! He so exited :D
