Trip to the Titanic

Rob McCallum goes on an eerie underwater journey to see the world’s most famous ship.

My chance to view the wreckage of RMS Titanic came thanks to my Job with the company. Deep Ocean Expeditions’. We work with the PP Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, part of the Russian Academy of Science. They own two ’Mir submersibles, which can dive to depths of 20,000ft. These are among the very few that can reach the Titanic, which rests deep beneath the surface of the icy North Atlantic Ocean.

The dive begins in the morning. At a depth of about 800ft. the submersible descends into darkness, for this is the maximum depth to which the sun’s rays can reach. As we travel further down, the blackness is broken only by the sub’s lights. It takes about two hours to reach the ocean floor. As the craft glides through the freezing depths, more than two miles below the surface. I sure out through the thick glass window. It looks almost like a lunar landscape.

Then suddenly, there it is: a sight I shall never forget Rising before my eyes Is the prow of the RMS Titanic which collided with an iceberg and plunged to a watery grave in April 1912. I gaze at the famous grand staircase and the promenade deck where the wealthy passengers once enjoyed themselves. Even in her broken, decaying state, surrounded by the darkness, the colossal size of the ship is sulking. The Titanic was the largest ship of its time, and one of the most beautiful ever created. Its wreck still has the ability to inspire and overwhelm.

The ship broke as it sank, and the two parts lie about 600m apart. The stem of the ship is badly damaged because it hit the ocean bed so hard. However, it is fascinating to see the vast engine rooms down there, full of massive machinery. There is, however, no sign of the four enormous funnels, which would have been ripped off and scattered over a wide area as the Titanic began her descent.

It is also possible to glimpse the Interiors of some of the cabins. Although the woodwork and fabrics have long gone, the metal waits and bronze and brass fittings remain. Particularly moving are the three rooms of Captain Smith, who heroically went down with his ship. His bathroom Is clearly visible with his porcelain bathtub still in remarkably good condition.

Even more astonishing are all the bottles, crockery, cutlery, even suitcases and shoes on the sea bed nearby. Indeed, the number of shoes is surprising. This is because the ship went down Just before midnight, at a time when many passengers would have returned to their cabins, undressed and put their shoes outside the door, ready to be cleaned by the staff.

There are no remains from any of the 1,5 и victims who died in the disaster. Their bodies were spread over a huge area, and many of them drowned or died of hypothermia in the freezing ocean. Others, dragged down with the ship, would eventually have drifted away or been claimed by the sea life that hides in these depths.

Indeed, there is still life on board the Titanic. In fact, the existence of other animal life so deep in the ocean is one of the most amazing features of our visit. As you travel down below 10, 000ft. It almost seems impossible that any organism could survive in this hostile environment. But the decks and rooms are home to a diverse range of fish, crabs and shrimp.

Even so, nothing can beat the awesome image of the Titanic Itself. The tragedy was a turning-point in history the moment when man arbor a that nature could not always be tamed by technology, that no ship could ever be unsinkable. The trip to see her was unlike anything I had experienced – or ever will again.
