Many things have remained under water is no worse than in a museum. For example, plates for first class passengers - it stayed on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 3,750 meters is almost a hundred years.

Our guide Cheryl Moore said at the beginning of the excursion: "People are fascinated with the story of the Titanic, even a hundred years later. The biggest ship, and the most luxurious. At the same time it is a story about people: the elite of the time and usual people. "

All things were taken out by a special deep device. There were eight expeditions , and the last was held this summer. Raise the whole "Titanic" is impossible.

You can feel the atmosphere of the Titanic.

There you can even feel the spirit of death when you touch the artificial iceberg. It is minus two degrees. Approximately the same temperature was in the salt water at that fateful night. Most people died just from hypothermia.
