I thought this was pretty cool. Article's from March 30th, 2012.
"Sweeping images of the sunken ship were made by stitching together hundreds of optical and sonar images collected by deep-diving robots during a 2010 expedition".

Pretty awesome!!
I read a book called Shadow Divers, which was about an American professional deep sea diving team that searched sunken ships for treasures and memorabilia and discovered a German U-Boat off the East Coast. They then tried to identify the crew that was onboard. It was really fascinating!!!

Thank you, my friend! I looked it up, it seems to be by Robert Kurson. And better yet, there's a copy available at my library, and me & the kiddo are headed there tomorrow! Excellent. That's a read I'll enjoy very much!

That is more then a little awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I'd heard about these pictures but not seen them. Thanks for posting the link.
Wow fantastic link Amicale! Thank you very much for sharing! Its amazing what we can do now a days!
That is really cool. I didn't realize they sunk an actual ship when making the movie. ::) That smiley means I'm not that stupid, just to clarify.

Glad everyone's liking the pics, I was so happy to stumble across that, I think it's so cool what they managed to do!
LOL, true story: when the movie Titanic came out in 1997, I went to go see it in theatres. I got to school the next day, and a classmate told me "I haven't seen it yet, don't tell me what happens!" and very sarcastically, I responded with "the ship SINKS..." and she says "why did you ruin it?!?" :D
Facepalm didn't exist back then, but I did one anyway!

Almost as bad as my date who would have liked "Pearl Harbour" more if there were less fighting and explosions....
