Bass said Thursday that the institute's Biblical archaeologist, Shelley Wachsmann, will join the expedition. He added that the shipwreck was located by the U.S. Navy while searching for a lost Israeli submarine and this June's visit will involve inspecting the sea floor with robots and mapping the shipwreck. "Then, in July, we're going to go to Sinop, in Turkey, to survey the Black Sea," Bass said. "Dr. Ballard's going to be moving into deeper waters of the Black Sea in 2000. That's when I'll be going up to join him." Ballard's hour-long presentation to almost 1,000 people in Rudder Auditorium Wednesday evening covered his 30-plus-year career in deep-sea exploration, including the discovery in the 1970s of previously unknown life forms living near hydrothermal vents off the Galapagos Islands. He said the giant clams and tube worms had adapted to life in the extremely hostile environment and may provide clues to the origin of life on earth and could support the theory of life on other planets. But the public reaction to all of those discoveries, Ballard added, paled in comparison to his locating the sunken Titanic in 1985.

The Science of Titanic, and How to Wreck the Shipwreck Part II We have been talking about the RMS Titanic and the myths which surround the greatest of maritime disasters. We mentioned the size and speed of the ship, her watertight compartments, and the grade of steel from which she was made. But there is so much more surrounding this ship and the people who sailed on her. One of the subjects often discussed about Titanic is her lifeboats and that, had she had enough boats for all, everyone would have been saved. There is only some truth to this. There were approximately 2201 passengers and crew. There were lifeboats for just half that many, about 1100 people, yet only 705 people were saved. Three problems explained this low number of people saved. Ships had been growing by startling leaps and bounds. Less than a year before Titanic's 46,000 tons, most ships had been about 15,000 tons. There is a world of difference between maneuvering 15,000 tons and 46,000 tons. Smith greatly overestimated what Titanic was capable of. Her sea trials were brief, just a few turns and stops at various speeds. Smith did learn that, steaming at 18 knots, then throwing the engines in reverse, it took Titanic 3000 feet to stop. She would have nothing like that 12 days later. The night of the 14th, Titanic was steaming at about 22 knots. It was a clear, windless and moonless night. A moon would have helped them see the bergs, and some wind would have made the water breaking around the bergs visible. Titanic struck a glancing blow, making very tiny gashes along nearly 300 feet of her starboard side. It took her from 11:40pm to 2:20 am to sink.

The Science of Titanic, and How to Wreck the Shipwreck This is the first of a two part article about the Titanic disaster. This month, the box-office smash Titanic is aired on NBC. The movie won numerous awards and grossed a lot of money. The actual event has mesmerized people from all over the world since it happened in 1912. There have been countless books written, at least three movies and countless stories from survivors or survivors relatives . Myth, superstition and lore arose almost immediately after the disaster and have become mingled with fact over the years. The movie smeared fact and fiction further. It takes a combined effort from science and history to separate fact from fiction. Most everyone knows at least some things about Titanic. The most common are : She was the largest ocean liner of her time, believed to be unsinkable. While sailing at full speed from England to New York on her maiden voyage, Titanic struck an iceberg. There were too few life boats and many people drowned. Unfortunately after the 1997 movie, many folks also believe that there really was a Jack Dawson, a Rose and a Blue Heart necklace. They also believe that 1st officer Murdoch was both a coward and a murderer. It was no myth that Titanic was the largest liner of her time, but neither her owners nor her builders referred to her as unsinkable. The Shipbuilder, a well respected nautical magazine, had described Titanic's series of watertight compartments and wrote that this rendered the ship "practically unsinkable." The term caught on, and the press exaggerated it to unsinkable.

Explorer Bob Ballard best known for finding the remains of the Titanic announced the discovery this week in the United States. A team headed by Ballard, working with the Bulgarian government, discovered the wreck in August. "This discovery provides historians with the first look at an actual wreck from a key era of trade in the Black Sea known previously only through written records," said Ballard, president of the Institute of Exploration at Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut and a National Geographic explorer-in-residence. The wooden ship itself was gone, having rotted away through the millennia. But its scattered contents remained on the sea floor in testament to the ship's sinking. Dwight Coleman, chief scientist on the expedition, said three Bulgarian team members in a submarine spotted the wreck on August 1, the final day of the expedition.

PRINT IT DISCUSS IT CHINESE SEND TO FRIENDS The explosion of Jiangya Ship out on the sea from the Yangtze River outlet 52 years ago once killed 2,353 people, 836 more than those in the Titanic accident, therefore claiming the biggest victim number among world top four ship accidents. This is a revelation by Chen Jianguo, deputy chief-editor of commission for compiling navigation history of the Yangtze River. Published by the People's Communication Press on November 1997, "A Brief History of Navigation on the Yangtze River" says the Jiangya ship, altogether with 3253 passengers aboard, suddenly exploded after sailing out of Wusong Estuary, December 3, 1948. "The victim number hit over 2350". While according to Wuhan Evening reporting, the "Brief History" published in May 1992 says there is altogether 2798 people on board, and " a total of 1483 passengers and crew died" after the explosion and sinking of the ship. Here appears a gap of 867 number of victims between the two. The 79-year-old Chen says he has been to Shanghai many times for old newspaper reports on the accident, calling on many people concerned. Investigation shows there are more than 3200 people on that ship, including 2607 ticket-holders, 191 crew, and over 400 disbanded Kuomintang soldiers and pick-ups of the crew who have no tickets.

Thomson of Glasgow. Her keel was laid on the 9th of February 1890, and she was launched at Glasgow on september 16th in the same year. Southampton trials followed at Stokes Bay in the solent on October 25th, and she made her maiden voyage from Southampton to the islands on the 6th of November. At the time of her launch she was the newest member of the LSWR’s twin-screw luxury fleet, the Lydia and Frederica already being in service, and she was purpose-built to carry passengers in comfort at speed across the Channel. Like the other LSWR steamers in her class she was schooner-rigged (having two masts), very long in the forecastle, and possessed the elegant yacht-shaped stern of so many Victorian steamships.

Articles Authored by Greg Stemm July/August 2000 Issue - UNDERWATER MAGAZINE Showdown at the Shipwreck Corral: Big Brother or Wild West? by Greg Stemm Some of the legal, political, and diplomatic conflicts over the control of shipwrecks appear to be heading toward a dramatic resolution in the near future. As Greg Stemm explains, the arenas are many: UNESCO's attempted assertion of Underwater Cultural Heritage management responsibilities, Spain's assertion of Sovereign Immunity over its Colonial shipwrecks, U.S. Navy airplane issues, 19th Century steamships full of gold, and lately, the complicated conflict over the Titanic. The rhetoric is getting louder and the legal fees are mounting. As I see it, the essence of the conflict arises from two polarized schools of thought: the Wild West versus Big Brother. I haven't heard these labels applied before, but they seem to fairly represent the issues. More on this Manichean battle later. But first, how does one track these rapidly shifting issues? For me, given the four hats I wear these days, keeping all the relevant issues on my radar simultaneously is becoming an interesting challenge. As a member of the U.S. delegation to the UNESCO expert meetings for negotiations of the Convention for the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage (I wish they could come up with an acronym), I am asked to contribute my opinions to the development of the U.S. government's position.

DEEP SEA DISCOVERY JULY 31, 1997 TRANSCRIPT Using nuclear submarines, archaeologists have located the largest concentration of ancient shipwrecks ever found, representing a new marriage of oceanography and the humanities. Elizabeth Farnsworth speaks with explorer Robert Ballard about the archaeological find. A RealAudio version of this NewsHour segment is available. Outside Links View National Geographic's ancient shipwreck news summary A treasure-hunters' site discusses artifacts from the Titanic Visit RMS Titanic, Inc's Titanic Online page View NOVA's report on the Britannic , the Titanic's sister ship. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: You are looking at pre-cut Roman columns and giant blocks of granite or marbleartifacts from a shipwreck discovered thousands of feet down in the Mediterranean Sea. They may have been pre-fab Roman buildings on their way to Northern Africa, across a particularly rough stretch of water. The discovery is considered especially important because it occurred in the deepest sea, which until now has been virtually unexplored. The U.S. Navy was part of the project, loaning its nuclear submarine, the NR-1. Robert Ballard, who earlier found the Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck, led the expedition. Making use of the submarine’s advanced radar, as well as an unmanned submersible robot vessel, Ballard’s group scouted an ancient Mediterranean trade route last spring.

I really enjoy learning about shipwrecks, espcially the ones that Dr. Robert Ballard found, or explored, like the Titanic, Lusitania, and the Bismarck. I also like reading about the ocean liners that sank. Six years ago I started reading the book Dr. Ballard wrote on discovering the Titanic, and I have loved shipwrecks ever since! My all-time favorite is probably the Titanic, but below there are links to others, too! I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I did!! I don't believe that anyone should go down to the Titanic to salvage dishes, and other items from the wreck. It is a gravesite of all the people that went down on the ship, and a place of memories for others. It should be a memorial to all of the people who drowned, or froze to death. All shipwrecks should be respected like that. But that is just my opinion; please don't be offended if you believe otherwise!! Now, on to the links!

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16, 18 other stories Previous story: Where are you? deutsch Next story: Proof appears at the bottom of the ocean 15th April Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory because of your love and faithfulness. Psalm 115, 1 The defeat of mechanization This is the title of an article in the French magazine "Science and Life" of February 1998. This article comments the dramatic shipwreck of the famous Titanic: Actually, the blind faith in the benefits of mechanization sank with this ultramodern liner in 1912. At that time the first cars, radio, aeroplanes appeared. Man sincerely believed that the scientific progress would have totally eliminated the antique risks of shipwreck at sea. The Titanic was the biggest, most powerful, nicest and surest liner of the world. In the eyes of the public it had been conceived by engineers who had anticipated and calculated everything. They thought that nothing could happen to it. But on it's first journey it sank like a stone with more than 1500 passengers and crew on board after striking an iceberg. The modern technique had totally failed. This is why this shipwreck is such a psychological repercussion." The admiration of works by which man surpasses himself contributes to give himself a high opinion of his capacities. At the same time this greatness masks the deepest destitution of morality. Everything which man can invent and build with his extraordinary capacities which are given to him is without power when comparing with God's glory.

Introduction RMS Titanic was a great luxury liner representing the accomplishments of early 20th century industrialism, and cultural expressions of the Victorian era. The builders of RMS Titanic, its operating company, White Star Line, and its passengers and crew bequeathed to the world a classic story of tragedy at sea. Today, this shipwreck is treated as an archaeological site, historic structure, attraction for adventure tourism, ecological phenomenon, international memorial, and as valuable property to be recovered and shared with humanity. RMS Titanic, Inc., as salvor-in-possession of the shipwreck, believes that all of these purposes are legitimate and beneficial to society. The company also believes that the multiple values of RMS Titanic and its status as a social-cultural icon demand the perspectives of many experts in scientific interpretation and stewardship of the site. RMS Titanic, Inc. is in the best position to provide for archaeological survey, scientific interpretation, and stewardship of the shipwreck RMS Titanic. The company possesses the largest collection of data, information, images, and cultural materials associated with the shipwreck, and has committed the operational and financial resources necessary to conduct research and education activities. The work has already begun with an agreement between the company and Eastern Michigan University for conservation of artifacts from the site (see the Materials Conservation www.emich.edu

Shipwreck! by Jack Sin In September 1985 a French geologist, Dr Ballard, discovered the wreck of the ill-fated Titanic and revealed some interesting finds. The sinking of the ship off Newfoundland on 14 April 1912 was undoubtedly one of the greatest maritime disasters of the last century. At 11.40pm, the supposedly unsinkable luxury cruise-liner struck an iceberg. Some two hours and forty minutes later, the Titanic plunged to the icy ocean floor, drowning some 1,500 of its passengers and crew. Many died of hypothermia in the freezing water. Facts and figures The Titanic It was as long as four city blocks and as wide as a four lane highway. Its nine decks made it taller than a ten-storey building. The hull was made of overlapping steel plates, one inch thick, fastened by over three million rivets. At that time, it was the largest moving object ever made and weighed over 53,000 tons. Its top speed was 24 knots (about 45 km/h). It carried 1,324 passengers (in addition to 892 crew members), including prominent industrialists, rich and famous nobles, businessmen and common people. It was a mammoth maritime project. The whole world paid rapt attention to the launch of the
