Finding the Missing Stern
The sinking of the Titanic in 1912 was one of the most catastrophic maritime disasters in modern history. The ship’s stern, measuring 392 feet in length, was a crucial component of its design. However, after the collision with an iceberg, survivors reported that the stern exploded just 10 seconds after the ship sank. Eyewitnesses also reported that the stern spun like a helicopter blade as it descended into the ocean’s depths.
Almost a century later, in 1985, an expedition led by Robert Ballard discovered the wreckage, including this haunting image of the ship’s stern resting on the seabed. This discovery marked a significant milestone in the history of Titanic exploration.
