Rare video footage showing the Titanic ocean liner on the floor of the Atlantic has been released to the public, decades after the discovery of the wreckage and more than a century after the ship hit an iceberg and sunk.
As per details, the footage from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) was shot about 2 miles (3 km) below the ocean's surface, just months after explorers found the wreckage in 1985.
Most of it has not been previously released to the public.
The wreckage of the ‘Titanic’— a huge ocean liner— sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912, on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City. More than 1,500 people died, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The tragic incident shocked the world and sparked outrage over the lack of lifeboats on board.
The footage was captured by cameras on the human-occupied submersible Alvin and the remotely-operated "Jason Junior" in July 1986. Since the Titanic's discovery, footage of the wreckage has been shown in several documentaries.
Some brief clips from the original dives have aired, but this new release is an 80-minute video of uncut footage that was on WHOI's YouTube channel.
The unveiling of the footage has been timed with the re-release of director James Cameron's 1997 film ‘Titanic’ on its 25th anniversary.
The film received 11 Academy Awards, including best picture.
