First Titanic dives in 14 years finds ship being 'consumed' by ocean(1/3)

The first Titanic dive in 14 years found that the ship is being “consumed” by the ocean. An exploration crew with a representative from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration completed five dives over eight days to the wreck using the Limited Factor submarine.After the luxury British passenger RMS Titanic liner made contact with an iceberg that scraped the side of the ship, it sank into the ocean on April 14 and 15 in 1912. Around 1,500 of the approximately 2,200 passengers and crew members on board died, as many of the lifeboats were initially under-filled when they departed from the ship, which had previously been deemed “unskinable” by some. The ship lies nearly 4,000 meters below the surface of the ocean, around 370 miles south of Newfoundland in water that is just 1 degree Celsius on the surface. (Photo/Agencies)
