Titanic's wreck site is located 963 miles northeast of New York and 453 miles southeast of the Newfoundland coastline.

The bottom of the deep ocean is a hostile environment. Over time, man-made objects will be consumed by bacteria, abraded by sediments and corroded by salt and acids. Even the ship itself is slowly being destroyed by iron-eating microorganisms and will one day collapse on the ocean floor. Artifacts that are not recovered from the wreck site will eventually be lost.

The first and most important reason is that diving to the Titanic’s wreck is an inherently dangerous activity. Without the proper supervision, a second tragedy could too easily occur. Secondly, because of the remote and dangerous location of the Titanic, approximately two and a half miles below the surface of the ocean in the middle of the North Atlantic, it is virtually impossible to control the activities of unauthorized expeditions.

There is a roll that is so bad that it has its own name. If on any throw of all five dice, you do not get any scoring cubes ("5," "10," Triplet, or Flaming Sun), then you Wimpout, or Trainwreck. We don't know why, but many people Train Wreck on their first throw of the dice. So there is a rule that if you Train Wreck the first time you ever roll, you get to throw again.

Knoppix-STD has the potential for severe damage, but not unless you want it too. By default Knoppix-STD simply borrows RAM and peripherals and leaves the hard drive alone. Take the CD out, reboot and you'll never know Knoppix ever ran. forensics folks note that you need to boot with the 'noswap' option to NOT touch an existing Linux swap partition.]

You are responsible for your health insurance. An insurance policy is available for $50.00 for damage to the racecar, subject to a $1000.00 deductible. Due to the quality of our training and racecars, damage is rare.

R: You can move forwards and backwards or turn around with your arrow keys. Signs on board of the Titanic will help you with the other functions like running, changing your camera view point and even flying around! R: The Titanic 3D is a visualisation made by Emmanuel Asset, based on the original plans and drawings. Susan Katarzis made the Avatars and clothing after research on the original clothes during those times.

The real treasures of Titanic are less tangible than gold, and more precious than diamonds. Although the wreck probably contains numerous articles of passengers jewellery, the real "gold" is woven throught the fabric of the story itself. Apparently, the pursers safes were emptied prior to the sinking, and the cargo manifest lists fairly common articles.

Due to her fragile condition, the depth, and the immense cost involved, no. At least not intact. A lot of controversy surrounds the possibility of someone dismantling the ship and raising it piece by piece. Fortunately, no. Human remains were long ago consumed by marine life, Grim reminders of the tragedy do still exist such as shoes and boots lying on the sea floor in the same position where the victims settled.

Cave divers usually make good wreck divers, but the reverse usually isn't true. This is because the cave environment demands the diver develop very precise buoyancy control, greater awareness, and better buddy/teaming skills than the wreck environment.. I feel a diver trained at the Cavern Diver or higher level is far better prepared to deal with any overhead environment, including a wreck, than a diver trained to the Wreck Diver level..

No. Due to the efforts of marine organisms, as well as the seawater, the human remains have been consumed in the years following the sinking. It is a logical assumption that since the wreck lies in over 12,500 feet of water, and the decent of bodies would have been gradual, many of the victims would likely have come to rest some distance from the remains of the ship itself. This was certainly not the case for all of the victims.

If the wreck is not "protected" you may remove artifacts. There are certain protected shipwrecks in Massachusetts Bay. All wrecks within state waters are protected unless they appear on the "exempt" list. When diving in Massachusetts State waters (within 3 miles of shore) some shipwrecks are classified as "exempt" from issuance of permits.

Nassau has a variety of wreck dives and in the Exumas we have one wreck dive. Here's a map of our dive sites with descriptions!

The wealthiest passenger aboard was undoubtedly 47 year old John Jacob Astor. Though he had inherited a vast fortune from his great grandfather, he had extended this empire through real estate, particularly hotels.

Titanic was designed with a series of transverse bulkheads, separating her into 16 "water-tight" compartments. Unfortunately, these bulkheads, while extending above the water-line, were not capped with water-tight decks. Her designers considered a breach between two compartments a worse case scenario, and in fact designed her to float with any four compartments flooded.

The Titanic 3D is a 3-dimensional environment, accessible via the Internet with the AW-E browser. You move around it using your arrow keys and a few others.

Titanic lies 2.5 miles beneath the ocean surface, where the pressure is 6,000 pounds per square inch.

The location of the wreck was discovered by Dr. Robert Ballard and Jean Louis Michel in a joint U.S./ French expedition on September 1, 1985 at 1:05 a.m.

Under admiralty law, the owner of a ship retains rights to its wreck, unless the owner abandons it or an unusually long period of time has passed since the vessel sank. It is generally accepted when the White Star Line sold their company to Cunard the Titanic was not included in the sale because it had sunk and could not be recovered. A portion of the hull was insured by several insurance companies, none of which have ever stepped forward to claim ownership.

Crash happens. You can avoid crashing by riding within your limits, pitting when you get tired, and not pushing too hard to keep up with or pass someone going faster. Should you be so unfortunate as to crash at a track day, your misfortune will probably continue as we seldom allow crash victims back on the track for the remainder of the day. We evaluate each crash on an individual basis. Obviously damage to you, your gear or your bike will keep you off the track until such are repaired.

It's basically a joke, looking back over the past 10 years at these companies(?) that have come and gone that claimed to have plans to build or to be building a Titanic replica. The webmaster originally had a list posted here of several articles and websites of organizations making the claim to have full intentions of building a replica, complete with estimated launch dates. In updating links etc. to this site in Jan.

This is one of the most asked questions we get. Certainly the Titanic is one of the most famous ships of all time. Since we deal only in original items , anything from the Titanic is extremely rare and commands a very high price. Most original Titanic items are sold at auction, and therefore we do not have a list of Titanic Items for Sale. We do offer for purchase our reproduction Deck Plans (The only item we sell that is not original).

Here is a concept that is sometimes hard to understand or accept until you think about it for a while. "All Accidents are Preventable." National Safety Council Simply put; Titanic was traveling way too fast in an area known to contain ice; that's the bottom line, Whether that was the way ship captains handled situations like that in those days or not, * ("..

The "stand alone" White Star Line ceased to exist in 1934. The merged company of "Cunard White Star" ended in 1950 at which time Cunard dropped the White Star name and burgee from it's house flag and the company returned to the name, Cunard. Today Cunard still exists, but as an owned subsidiary of the Carnival Cruise Line Corporation. Harland and Wolff is very much still in business today in Belfast but no longer manufactures the big passenger ships.

The Titanic, registered as a British mail ship was really owned by the American railroad tycoon, J.P. Morgan. He had most of the controlling interest in the American railroads and was looking to expand his ownership to seize control of the Atlantic shipping trade. He succeeded in acquiring the White Star Line in 1902. White Star had asked the City of New York to enlarge and extend the piers to accommodate their new super liners and were flatly refused.
