International Herald Tribune	THE TITANIC'S DEMISE Twenty years ago, a team of scientists led by Robert Ballard discovered the remains of the Titanic 12,400 feet under the surface of the North Atlantic. It was a big deal. When the search team returned to Woods Hole, it held a brief service to honor those who died when the Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912. Now scientists have discovered large sections of the hull that suggest the ship may have split into three parts rather than two, and may have sunk much more quickly than was thought. This, Ballard said, is not a big deal. "It hit an iceberg and it sank," he said. "Get over it."...	31st December 2005

ABC News	TITANIC SPLIT THEORY CHALLENGED "This ship didn't split apart because it sank," said John Chatterton, a co-host of the History Channel's "Deep Sea Detectives." "It sank because it split apart. And if you're the person onboard a ship, having it split apart is even scarier than having it slowly sink."Chatterton and his co-host, Richie Kohler, set out on an expedition to research the legendary ocean liner last summer. They encountered two huge sections of the bottom - 60 feet by 90 feet - from the area where the ship had split in two. That led to a new theory about how the Titanic had sunk. ...	26th February 2006

telegraph.co.uk	NEW DOCUMENTARY CLAIMS MISSION TO FIND TITANIC 'WAS COVERT US NAVY OPERATION' A new documentary from National Geographic claims that the mission to find the wreck of the Titanic in 1985 was a cover for a US military operation. More than 73 years after it had sunk off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada on April 15, 1912, killing over 1,500 of the 2,000 people on-board, the 1985 expedition found the Titanic after four previous attempts failed.

bbc.co.uk	TITANIC RESCUE MEDALS AUCTIONED A medal presented to a Liverpool sailor who steered a ship to rescue passengers of the Titanic has sold for nearly £5,000 in London. A similar medal cast in silver was bought for nearly £8,000, which was £3,000 more than expected. Both medals were awarded to officers and crew of RMS Carpathia for their actions in rescuing over 700 survivors of the disaster. J.J. Kirkpatrick received a bronze medal for his part in guiding the ship. The Carpathia was sailing from New York to Europe when it received a distress call from the Titanic on 15 April 1912. It immediately changed direction, and travelled nearly 60 miles to the ship's location. Charles Miller Ltd, which held the auction, said it is thought 21-year-old J.J. Kirkpatrick was at the helm during the rescue effort. When the ship arrived, the Titanic had already sunk....	25th April 2012
Roxborough Review	TITANIC BEING EATEN AWAY Had the Titanic not sunk, it eventually would have been scrapped. Because it sank, the wreckage has been preserved all this time. However, the wreck will not be preserved forever. It is slowly deteriorating, and deterioration will not only continue, but accelerate. The deterioration, in fact, has a biologic cause. The depth to which the ship sank helped preserve the wreckage all these years because it is an oxygen-poor region of the abyssal ocean floor. There is no light at that depth. Photographs and videos of the wreckage depend on artificial lights carried aboard the deep sea submersibles that dive on the wreck. But microbes are eating the steel of which the ocean liner was built. Formations known as rusticles form on the ship's steel as the microbes eat away at the metal. Bronze fixtures of the ship are not affected by the microbes....	9th February 2006
