Then we saw a wash hand basin with the taps still attached. and we were only about 300 metres, apparently, from the wreck. is something going on with my thrusters? um, im thrusting and nothings happening. i dont know whats going on. one is thrusting forward, one of the thrusters is thrusting backwards right now. so, the only thing i can do right now is a 360. were literally 300 metres from titanic and although we are in the debris field, we cant go anywhere but go in circles. oh, my god...

Experience, check off your box to see the titanic but, at the same time, contribute to something that has a wider application. so, this is pretty typical of what we saw on the dive. you can see this black igneous rock, but look at the number of sponges, and thats what really hit us right away. i was asked by oceangate to be the chief scientist of their expeditions. that involves organising a science team and establishing long—term monitoring stations on the wreck. the earth is changing, the cl...

The titanic has always been - in my family, in terms of history. my fathers from northern ireland, he was born in derry, _ he spent a lot of time in belfast and growing up as a child, - he always spoke about - the titanic because obviously, it was built in belfast. weve always had what we call in irish "a gra" — _ which is a love for the whole history and the story - of the titanic, so im - really pleased to be here. ive been keeping myself very fit and watching my diet. _ i had covid a few ye...

An ikea in france — everything is in metric and its in french and its completely confusing, because its ikea to start with. i have a titanic patch from the expedition. this is just the titanic, the jacket patch. laughs. yes. people are so enthralled with titanic that it became a must—do dive. i read an article that said there are three words in the english language that are known throughout the planet and thats �*coca—cola, �*god, and �*titanic�*. its just such an interesting perio...

I was able to join their expedition last year. we took the dive and dove for about two hours and maybe 15 minutes or so. i heard we got within like two football fields of the titanic, and then suddenly stockton says, "oh, we got to turn around." and at first i thought he was joking because we were over two hours into our expedition and so close to the bottom. but then he explained one of the batteries kind of went kaput and we were having trouble using the electronic drops for the weights, so it...

So this is an actual menu from the titanic itself on the day it actually sank, and i very strangely came across it in a very small auction in ireland. radio: go ahead. yes, sir. secure the anchor. phone rings. hello? so, ive heard the comparison. like, at titanic depth, it would like having an aircraft carrier sitting on the sub. it gives you an idea of how much pressure there really is. thats my mexican flag. this is the white star line . pin, a titanic expedition pin. radio: go ahead. yes, sir...

Dream...just crumbled. i switched my career to banking and i started searching for a way to go. i wasnt sure how i was going to get to titanic but i knew i had to go. im not a millionaire. ive been saving money for a long, long time. i made a lot of sacrifices in my life to be able to go to titanic. i dont have a car. i didnt get married yet. i dont have children. and all of those decisions have been because i wanted to go to titanic. when i met stockton, i told him, "heres my money." he said, "...
