PR (2006) TITANIC'S FINAL MOMENTS: MISSING PIECES
In August 2005, a History Channel expedition team made a shocking discovery more than two miles beneath the Atlantic Ocean: large missing pieces of Titanic's bottom, more than 1,500 feet from the rest of the ship, so well preserved that even the original red paint is still clearly visible.

Relive the disaster, the history, and the deep-sea search for new clues in high-definition in TITANIC'S FINAL MOMENTS: MISSING PIECES, premiering Sunday, February 26th at 9:00 p.m. on The History Channel....
