Dr. Ballard is one of the most accomplished men of his generation. Most importantly his upmost respect and decency he portrayed throughout his entire Titanic exploration and the decades that followed. He never lost sight of the tremendous event of human loss that the Titanic was. He has shown genuine compassion from day one. And in a way that so many others have failed to do. For me, it sets him apart. Thank you for all the pain staking work you’ve done sir. You’ve done so much for science.

Highly respected and honorable man. I was a paperboy in '85 and remember the headlines reading 'Titanic Found' with a grainy image. It was a big deal back then because it was lost for 73 years and so difficult to find. Armstrong landed on the moon and Ballard the Titanic. The stuff of legend.

@@MisterK-YTit was the moon landing moment for a generation. The story of the Titanic was one of intrigue and mystery. It sank in a remote area of the ocean , deep and complex terrain. Assumed lost forever never to be found. Oceanographers did not have the technology to find the illusive wreck prior until Argo technology. Ballard was very intelligent and apparently dyslexic. He was originally hired by Reagan to find Thresher and Scorpion nuclear subs which suffered implosions and sunk.

Common sense conveys to most human beings that you would never go up to a grave in a cemetery and take something off of it or desecrate it, in any way. You just don't do it. With everything he has going for him...Robert Ballard has a good heart. He didn't even like subs hitting the ship and doing damage, much less looting it. He deserved to make that find. His heart was pure and he had good intentions. ♡

In light of the recent submersible disaster, one detail that became apparent was the story of a sub that was swept into the propeller of Titanic some years ago. They got stuck in the debris, but the key detail for me is that some if these subs are obviously doing damage to Titanic. Not all, but some submersibles, which flies in the face of preserving the wreck.

When my 8 year old heard about the implosion of the submersible Titan. His first question to me was "Was Robert Ballard onboard?" I said no. My son's response was "What a shame those poor people but I am so glad Robert Ballard is ok because if anything happens to him it would be a national tragedy" I couldn't agree more.

Well the captain of the titanic didnt listen to warnings on a moonless night that he was headed into icebergs, so without the iceberg it wouldn't have sank, so my advice to them would've been to sail further SOUTH!!!

@@vicvega3614 they changed the route to South to avoid icefields. Most of the ice would've melted by then. But the ice fields of that year were large, they didn't melt when they should've. So they never expected it to be on the path. Changing the route was one of the reasons they didn't get enough ships closer to come rescue quickly. They were going on regular cruising speed and based on the warnings, lookouts were posted early on and officers were given command to slow down if anything was encountered. The ,then unknown phenomenon, false horizon made it difficult along with calm conditions and moonless night. They could only spot it when it was near.

@@Notorious_Neal this statement directly contradicts the sole purpose of the construction of Olympic class. They knew they can't beat Cunarders for speed, so Ismay intended to focus on luxury when the idea of Olympic class was pitched by him. And they used the old reciprocating engines to operate then economically. Unlike Cunard, they didn't have access to high pressure turbine engines that were powerful. So white star line used the combination of reciprocating engines and a low pressure turbine engine and operate economically. And the focus was given to luxury.

It's an error made when digitalizing analog formats, many of which don't have stereo audio. If you forget to tell your capture software that the incoming sound is mono, it will put that signal into one channel (usually left, unless you switch the cables) and the other one will be just static noise. Of course, it can be corrected later. I guess it wasn't.

Very interesting, I easily remember them finding the legendary Titanic. That was a headline event itself. But what I remember is that the stern was found like a year later. I remember it being a total shock that they had found the stern, and the bow was missing, and that therefore the Historians were wrong on their accounts of the sinking. All the titanic movies and titanic paintings clearly showed it sinking bow first, with no breaking apart. Then suddenly, they were saying, no it didn't sink like that after all. They had made those eye witnesses (over a dozen) who saw it break apart believe they were imagining things. Many of them died thinking they had just dreamed up the Titanic breaking apart. So sad! But then they found the Titanic, then they discovered later that it was split in half, and then a year or so later they identified the stern almost a mile away. Them finding the bow and stern on that one trip is definitely NOT THE WAY I REMEMBER the discovery of the wreck. It was clearly in stages with a big gap of time between stern and bow discovery. Can anyone confirm or dismiss my memory?? Thank you!! GREAT VIDEO THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING WITH THE PUBLIC

I believe that has to do with the fact that they simply didn't have the full picture of what they were looking at when this was shot, given how little time they had to actually document the wreck (for instance, it was stated multiple times in the video that the second stack was still standing, although it collapsed at the time of the sinking). They didn't know how much of the bow was there past the front of the second stack, other than that the stern wasn't where it should be, and they had found components off of the stern in the debris field, but had yet to actually find the main structure of the stern itself, which was found in July of 1986

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJaYZZWrgayKiZo In the video just after 32 minutes Dr. Ballard mentions they bounced off the 2nd smoke stack and said they saw the 3rd one as well in the side scan sonar...I thought all the smokestacks were found to be ripped off the wreck due to the sinking? Interesting nonetheless. I remember the 1985 discovery as a kid and still fascinates me to this day.

No, all four funnels are out in the debris field. It was probably just misinterpreted data at the time.
