Disaster, opulence, and the merciless ocean: why the Titanic disaster continues to enthral

Thursday, June 22, 2023

The “unsinkable” ship that sunk on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg is arguably the world’s most well-known boat.

Key Points: 
  • The “unsinkable” ship that sunk on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg is arguably the world’s most well-known boat.
  • The disaster inspired songs and multiple films in the twentieth century, including James Cameron’s 1997 epic romance, which long reigned as the highest-grossing film of all time.
  • More recently, Titanic exhibitions that invite visitors to examine relics and explore the ship’s recreated rooms have attracted huge crowds in New York, Seville and Hong Kong.

Opulence and immigrants

    • The first is its opulence.
    • The White Start Line that built the Titanic advertised the ship as the most luxurious ever to set sail.
    • If their ilk were the only people on board the Titanic, the ship would arguably have faded quickly from memory.

The power of the sea

    • At the bottom of the Atlantic, it serves as a visceral reminder of the indomitable sea’s awesome power.
    • The same two factors - the excess of the voyage, and its defeat by the sea – are now driving the current global interest in the Titan submersible disaster.
    • And then there is the intriguing mystery and power of the sea.

The limits of human knowledge

    • The site allows viewers to scroll from the sea surface to the sea floor, diving down past images of various marine animals that inhabit different oceanic depths.
    • At 114 metres is an orca, and 332m marks the the deepest depth a human has ever reached using SCUBA gear.
    • As the sea seems to have swallowed yet another ship, we are reminded of limits of human knowledge and mastery over the ocean.

Death by Drowning Continues to Kill Thousands of Americans Yearly - Miracle Swimming School for Adults Warns: 'Traditional Swimming Lessons Take the Wrong Approach'

SARASOTA, Fla., Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Miracle Swimming School for Adults (MSSA) recently highlighted some disturbing CDC statistics* that point to more than 4,000 people who die each year in preventable drowning accidents, eighty percent of whom are adults. Founded by professional competitive swimmer Melon Dash in 1983, MSSA uses a radically different approach to teach people how to swim. MSSA treats swimming instruction as an aquatic mindfulness exercise first – one that stresses comfortability rather than just technical skill. The Miracle Swimming Technique eliminates fear, prevents panic, and trains far safer swimmers – especially students who are afraid of the water.

NASSAU, Bahamas, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- During the 2022 Titanic Expedition an extremely productive and dense ecosystem was discovered 2900 meters deep near the wreck of the Titanic. The provisionally dubbed Nargeolet-Fanning Ridge was originally recorded as a blip on sonar 26 years ago by PH Nargeolet, a veteran Nautile submersible pilot and Titanic diver. After more than two decades of wondering if the blip was a shipwreck or geologic feature, PH got his chance to dive on the target and explore the ridge that now provisionally carries his name. The mystery was finally solved with the financial support of OceanGate Expeditions Mission Specialist Oisín Fanning and the analysis provided by OceanGate Foundation's scientific team. Video footage released by OceanGate Expeditions shows the awe-inspiring environment that was discovered.
