Full Titanic wreck site is mapped for 1st time
« on: March 09, 2012, 11:14:13 pm »

"SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Researchers have pieced together what's believed to be the first comprehensive map of the entire 3-mile (4.8 kilometer)-by-5-mile (8-kilometer) Titanic debris field and hope it will provide new clues about what exactly happened the night 100 years ago when the superliner hit an iceberg, plunged to the bottom of the North Atlantic"

Yes.  A shocking story it was as well.  A very political film, full of hatred.

I was only interested in the actual model, of which there wasn't much information. It was surprising to learn that part of it was used in the  'Kenneth Moore'  film  (a night to remember)  to save actually making it themselves. The rest of the film sidetracked somewhat and I was disappointed with the result.
