The mission, led by
RMS Titanic Inc., the firm with the legal rights to salvage the Titanic,
follows a devastating submersible tragedy last year that killed five people,
including RMS Titanic’s director of underwater research, Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
The expedition is emotionally crucial for the crew,
as stated by RMST Inc. president Jessica Sanders, who emphasized the mission’s
commitment to carrying on Nargeolet’s legacy.
Sanders stated that
this monumental initiative would allow them to document the Titanic in
unprecedented detail and share discoveries from the wreck site with the public.
The expedition uses advanced imaging equipment and
remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to capture precise photos of the Titanic, the
wreckage site, and the surrounding debris field.
