1985 and 1986 when he took a camera inside the ship The effect is to replace the folklore surrounding the 'Manic with stark realism The 74 years of speculation between 1912 and its die covery in 1985 led to this a very real badly rusted hulk broken into two pieces The sheer velocity of its dive to the ocean floor drove the bow 50 feet into the mud You see a chandelier hanging in the ballroom windows with 'fresh red paint and a grand staircase burled in undersea growth Ballard's footage is crystal-clear and eerie in its peacefulness An uncorked champagne bottle on the ocean floor seems to

Broadcast Group told him he had a future at CBS if he chose not to take the job 'They've been Just terrific" he For 13 years Dr Robert Ballard was determined to find the elusive Titanic In 1985 during the last days of a long futile search in the Atlantic Ocean his unmanned search vehicle spotted a mammoth boiler 24 miles dovin on the bottom Jubilation quickly turned to sor row "It was spooky" Ballard recalled "We had found the grave It struck us that this was hallowed ground" Next month marks the 75th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic In 1912 it was the largest moving object ever built After it was shattered by an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Ireland 1523 people died in the freezing ocean waters -The Titanic continues to fascinate new generations weaned on space travel
