They were able to locate the three propellers that powered the iconic ship, providing a glimpse into the engineering marvel of the vessel and the events leading to its demise.
The starboard-side propeller was the largest, measuring an impressive 23.5 feet in diameter. While the middle propeller was significantly shorter at only 17 feet. Ballard’s team overcame numerous obstacles to locate the propeller, making the discovery even more rewarding.
