Finding the Titanic

Please imagine you are looking for something as small as a piercing in a pitch dark football field. It is somewhat similar to finding the remains of the Titanic in the vast Atlantic Ocean.

Because it sunk in 1912, people were looking for Titanic. It is the most famous ship in history, and explorers are keen to find it.

Why is the Titanic so famous? It is the world's largest ship. When it was built, people said it never sinks. In the first voyage, the Titanic sailed for 4 days, then fell on the iceberg and sunk. Over 1,500 people lost their lives

Scientists and explorers compete to find the Titanic. Scientists even want to take his pet Monkey Titan to find the wreckage! The explorer took over 70 years to find the Titanic.

Robert Ballard is a deep sea explorer who dreams of finding the Titanic. The US Navy asked Ballard to find two sunken submarines on the Atlantic Ocean with a secret task and take a picture.

When Ballard was looking for a submarine, he understood a serious message. When the ship sinks, the debris is carried by the submarine. This leaves traces of debris like the comet's tail.

In 1985, Ballard and his team were dispatched from the US Navy to shoot submarines again. This time the US Navy asked them to look for the Titanic.

The traditional way to find a shipwreck is to use sonar. Sonar uses sound to detect underwater objects. In addition to using sonar, Ballard is still looking for traces of the Titanic. He estimates that it will be over 2 kilometers in length. The time it takes Ballard to find it is only 12 days, the sea area is five times as much as New York.

Looking for this route, Ballard used a deep-sea ride called Argo. Argo has lots of cameras and is dragged behind the boat. Argo is floating on the ocean floor, 5 miles below the cold, dark Atlantic Ocean

After a couple of days of searching, Ballard found a way. He knew that the water would go north. Ballard departed along the way and departed to the Titanic!

A year later, Ballard returned to the remains of the Titanic. He went to a shipwreck using a small submarine and took a picture. It took ballads and his team took 2.5 hours to get to the shipwreck. They were the first people to visit the remains of the Titanic

James Cameron, the director of the movie "Titanic", has recently become the first person to go alone to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean, 11 km from the sea level. With the further development of deep sea science, where will we go in the next step?

"After discovering the Titanic, I was asked to testify in both houses of Parliament, they passed the Titanic Memorial Act in 1986, and President Reagan signed the bill, but it has no legal effect "Because the Titanic is not a US ship but an international waters, what can we do, in addition to expressing our wishes," he said. "If I can find it today, I can actually protect it today, and when I found it, there was a maritime law" The Guardian Guardian ", so I can not do it at that time did. They are actually doing diving and tours of the Titanic so you can argue that you found it, but you want to use it for traveling leaving it there. Dr. Ballard said

A few days after Ballard found a shipwreck, Jack Green (the author who could not find the Titanic in the early 1980's) owns it because he is claimed to have found it for the first time I insisted. He announced that he was intended to begin to bail out the debris. He's "seeing they are absorbed in the sea just by lying there." What is the possible damage to this distorted steel? Titanic Ventures is headquartered in Connecticut in 1987 It is a consortium with French oceanography. Agency IFREMER jointly sponsored research and relief activities. The expedition caused a strong protest. When the crow 's nest watch was pulled from the mast, the bird - watching station first saw the iceberg' s crow 's nest collapsing itself. Titanic survivor Eva Heart condemned the plundering of mass tombs by many people: "Putting these things from a huge sea cemetery to earn thousands of pounds shows a terrible thing Insensitive and greedy The tomb should be alone.
