Breathtaking... Nearly 20 years after first finding the sunken remains of the R.M.S. Titanic, marine explorer Robert Ballard returned in June 2004 helped by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of Ocean Exploration to study the ship's rapid deterioration.

The R.M.S. Titanic team worked aboard the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown from May 30 through June 9 spending 11 days at the wreck site, mapping the ship and conducting scientific analysis of its deterioration. Using the Institute for Exploration (IFE) remotely operated vehicles (ROV's) Hercules and Argus, to conduct a sophisticated documentation of the state of Titanic was not possible in the 1980's. This "Look, don't touch" mission utilized high-definition video and stereoscopic still images to provide an updated assessment of the wreck site at an enormous depth of 3,840 meters (12,600 feet).

As the nation's ocean agency, NOAA has a vested interest in the scientific and cultural aspects of the Titanic, and in its appropriate treatment and preservation. NOAA's focus is to build a baseline of scientific information from which we can measure the shipwreck's processes and deterioration, and then apply the knowledge we gain to other deep-water shipwrecks and submerged cultural resources.

    Breathtaking. I can't imagine how terrifying it must have been to have been on that ship as it went down. Bless them all.

    I heard that in the next 50 years, the water pressure will make it rust up and disappear.

    Titanic is one of my biggest interests. Just to see this ship in real life would make me so emotional because of my life long interest in one of man's most beautiful creations, but to the arrogance of man to let this wonderr go down with the many lives it consumed. May each person affected by this tragedy rest in peace.

    Because, the sudden rush of oxygen would completely disentegrate what's left of it. I think they should let her rest there in peace...

    Instead of letting the ship to fall apart, because eventually titanic WILL disappear, why don't they try to raise whatever they can save?
