Hi, I was trying to map the debris field east of the Stern section, starting from the sonar image, but I run into this piece, which is hard to tell what it is since it's not named in any of the maps I have found.
I'm referring to the one marked in red.
Basing on the shadow it casts, it...
Hi!
A recent thing that has been going through my mind is: How did the Forward and Aft Tower Debris break away from the Stern? Or better yet, did they break away during the initial break up at the Surface? And their journey to the Bottom?
A quick Rundown of what the "Hull Towers" are:
There are...
Hi Y'all. This shall be my final group of photos: the Debris Field.
To the Port of the Stern: Crane 1
Crane 2
Crane 3:
Crane 4
Stern Starboard Side Debris
Red and White Tiles (these things are everywhere!)
Surviving Rigging? Perhaps from the Mast, or Funnels?
Behind the Stern, I...
Hello,
I have recently been trying to look for proper mapping of the Titanic's Debris field (other than the Sonar)
Here's two that I'm interested in:
1. The map from Titanic: The Final Word with James Cameron. While Parks Stephenson talks, this map, with labeling, shows up. However, it is...
In the 1997 Titanic: Anwsers from the Abyss, at 1:08:44, there is a room wit twisted metal, and in the middle looks like like a pillar. Sorry theres no picture, I don't know how to post it. The full documentary is on Youtube. Thanks y'all
Considering that there were guns aboard Titanic, have any been found, or even recovered from, the debris field around the wreck?
I ask this because Lightoller mentioned in his memoirs that when he was swimming away from the sinking ship, the gun in his pocket slowed him down so he got rid of...
I remember Ballard saying that he was looking for a debris field. One definitely would've been created if the ship broke in half.
Why was he willing to believe the survivors who testified that the ship broke in half when so many people thought she sank intact at the time?
Why was he able to...
As technology for probing the Titanic's debris field becomes more precise and sophisticated, Do you think clothing from some of the already disintegrated bodies might be identified and reveal the owner, or possibly contain further valuable information/insight (as in diaries, notebooks, letters...
The Titanic artifact exhibit is coming to St. Paul next June.
In the article about it Jason T. just posted to the Titanic news section of E-T, it mentions this:
"Day said in addition to the artifacts – which this time will include a three-ton piece of the hull, sealskin slippers, a...
It is claimed that a new debris field has been found, with important consequences for the story of the breakup of Titanic's hull.
I was originally informed of this by Brian Ticehurst, but it appears on a number of newspaper sites...
As much as I "like" the debris and wreck site map from his latest anti-salvage rant, I see her has neglected to label the double bottom fragment from the 1st boiler room (about 150 metres north of the stern and 200 metres east, according to the Polaris Imaging map a decade ago).
Also...
One of the most interesting pictures in Ballard's 'Return To The Titanic" was an image claimed to be the circular iron frame of either the aft or forward grand staircase skylight...What an amazing find..I believe the image is indeed the remnants of one of the two elegant glass domes(or rather...
For better or for worse, a recent expedition by R.M.S. Titanic Inc. found a new field of debris just south of the Titanic's stern and salvaged some 75 artifacts before returning.
"The field contained mostly remnants of the ship’s first-class A La Carte Restaurant, including the champagne...
Hi all,
This is my first post on these boards, so please treat me gently! ;-)
Last Saturday, I attended a talk at the Science Museum in London (which is hosting an exhibit of Titanic artefacts) where a perfumist recounted the story of how Adolphe Saalfeld's samples of perfumes were recovered...
Hello all!
This is my first post so please be gentle with me! I am writing from Sydney, Australia (hence my tragic little member name) and have been a keen researcher of Titanic history for many years. I appreciate the hard work of many of the members who post here. Your information is...
