2005 Cameron expedition

[João Carlos Pereira Martins]

I do apologize if this question was already done (the most probable), but the 2005 expedition was really the last dive to the wreck? Sorry, but I wouldn't read all your previous posts. There're hundreds of them!

Regards for all, João

I believe that James Cameron said that this would be HIS last dive to the wreck, but who knows. Never say never!

That was what Mr. Cameron stated from the very start. I hope at some point something may change his mind. Whatever you think of his flick, he's done more for Titanic research in regards investigating the wreck itself then anyone, and he doesn't keep any secrets. What he finds, he shares.

Amen to that, Michael- sometimes I'd like to bop him one around the head with a copy of his movie script, but in exploration terms, I'd get on my knees to him if I thought he'd go back and explore further!

At the very least, I hope he explores other wrecks in a similar manner; his Bismarck effort was superb, for example.

Thanks, people! If Cameron will or not return to the wreck only he can say, but perhaps a brand new Titanic explorer will come soon!

Yes it was. Some of the background used in the show was a bit fanciful, but the examination of the wreck was fist class work, and the information on naval gunnary practice was the best I've seen anywhere. Mr. Cameron may not be inclined to go back to the Titanic again, but I'd love to see him do the Lusitania.

 

[João Carlos Pereira Martins]

Cameron did his work with Titanic, it's time for new people diving to the wreck. He could turn to other famous sunk ships, like the Britannic, Lusitania or the referred Bismarck.

The Lusitania is in such a state, I'm not sure what he could get out of it, but I'd like to see him visit Britannic.

"The Lusitania is in such a state, I'm not sure what he could get out of it, but I'd like to see him visit Britannic."

I second that vote!

 

[Michael H. Standart]

Nobody was sure what he could get out of Titanic or even the Bismarck for that matter, but he managed to get quite a bit. The Lusitania may not be all that revealing in light of her known state of collapse, but I'm sure some of the smaller ROV's could get into a few knooks and crannies. You never really know until you look.

Any word on the DVD?

 

[Matthew Newman]

Scott, as soon as there's word on the DVD for purchase, I will be the first to let you know. I'm just as excited to see it as you are.

I hope it's soon. You might want to check the Discovery Channel site. It's got to come out sooner or later. It's high time that it comes out. It's only been almost a year since the broadcast. Something's got to come out soon...I really hope.

[Matt Pereira]

Well I might have some good news for Scott and others about the DVD, I found some but Im waiting on more information on it but its claimed to be of the Documentation that Cameron did.
