Excursion to the sunken Titanic.

1) The Argo search vehicle begins its two-hour descent to the Titanic's hull in the North Atlantic Ocean.

2) Two piston engines the height of a four-story building (one of which is shown in the photo) drove the Titanic's propellers.

3) The light of the bathyscaphe Mir 2 illuminates the left main anchor on the forecastle of the sunken Titanic.

4) In the early morning hours of September 1, 1985, oceanographer Robert Ballard and photographer Emory Christophe discovered and photographed the remains of the Titanic. Krystof and his team used an underwater search vehicle and a towed sled with a camera to take more than 20,000 images, including this one, which shows the starboard propeller of the sunken ocean liner

5) Surviving window glass from Captain Edward J. Smith's cabin on the Titanic, which lies two and a half miles (four kilometers) underwater in the North Atlantic Ocean.

6) Bathyscaphe Mir-1 illuminates the railings on the Titanic.

7) A ceramic cup and wreckage from the Titanic lie at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland.

8) A fragment of a ship’s hull on the ocean floor.

9) A hole in the right side of the ship's hull - the cause of which was probably the collision of the Titanic with an iceberg on April 14, 1912. From this blow, the ship split in two and sank, resulting in the death of 1.5 thousand people
