Rare footage of the first filmed expedition of the RMS Titanic on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean has been released to the public to enjoy to mark the 25th anniversary of James Cameron's blockbuster film on the ill-fated ship.
Released by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, a nonprofit research and higher education facility, the 1-hour 21-minute long video published on Youtube shows rare, uncut and unnarrated footage of the ship that was the first time its wreck was viewed by human eyes since sinking in 1912.
The infamous White Star Liner, built in Belfast, sank on her maiden journey from Southhampton to New York City on April 15 1912 after striking an iceberg, killing an estimated 1500 passengers.
