The wreck of the Titanic experience to visit CERAM

At a point at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, lies the most famous shipwreck of all time: Titanic, which sank 100 years ago.
More recently, a group of people perform thrilling journey, explore the ocean to see the Titanic up close. One of them, Rob McCallum who recounted his experience, as published by the Daily Mail.
Here's her story:

"When the capsule gliding in the depths of the ocean that was almost frozen, more than two miles beneath the surface of the water, I looked out through the thick glass window, toward the canyon.

Of light emanating from outside the submarine, I could look over the broad ocean, which looks like a moon landscape. Sometimes, strange sea creatures in the form of passing, completing a strange atmosphere,

Suddenly, the emerging view that I will never forget. A bow of the most famous in the world, Titanic, which sank in the waters of this frozen nyari, nearly a century ago, on 15 April 1912.

Even in the darkness of the ocean floor, the front of the boat still looks magnificent, inlay fence and hull shape instantly recognizable.

Submarines that brought us continue to walk on the ruins of the magnificent ship. I would enchanted landscape of the famous grand staircase, as well as the pedestrian deck - where upper-class passengers enjoy all the rich luxury of the ship, though brief, ending when the incident damaged the collision with the iceberg occurred.

Then, about a mile from the bow, we found the back of the ship is severely damaged, a gaping tear in the metal side. However, although badly damaged, with rotting wood, relics "haunted" is still exudes greatness.

One of the three main propellers, built of solid bronze, the shape is still preserved. It weighs twice that of our submarine that weighs 18 tons.

At first glance, we also see some of the cabin interior, the exterior steel coatings have been dislodged by the disaster. Although wood and fabric ornaments have disappeared, bronze and brass walls still there steady.

Momentum is moving when he saw the master bedroom, Captain Smith, who performed heroic acts in the cruise tradition: selecting down with his ship. Of three room, the bathroom is the most visible - porcelain tub is still in very good condition.

The most amazing thing is seeing a lot of artifacts scattered on the surface of the vessel. Everywhere visible bottles, dishes, pots, spoons, forks, and even luggage and shoes.

No clothing, rugs or similar materials left over, it has been decomposed or eaten by living organisms. The existence of many scattered shoes are very surprising. Perhaps related to passenger habits, put his shoes outside as they entered the cabin. Ship staff on duty that night to clean their footwear.

We do not see any remains of one of the 1514 people killed in the disaster. They bounce off the body in a location away from the ship, or died of hypothermia in the frozen ocean, to lose hope for help.

The existence of animal life in the deep sea is one of the most interesting feature of the visit to the Titanic. As you walk under 10,000 feet, in a location that is almost impossible there is life, the organism can survive in the hostile environment. Many sea creatures can be found. There is a rat fish, crab and white, are also creatures that emit flashes of light blue, green, and white. Even so, nothing can beat the amazing pictures of the Titanic itself.

Nearly two decades, nearly 200 dives performed by the dive company. There are 150 tourists who came down and approached him: bankers, teachers, pilots, doctors, historians, even the families of the victims. Some of them have to pay up to U.S. $ 59 thousand.

I had the opportunity to see the Titanic wreck because of my relationship with the Isle of Man, sea freight forwarders specializing in research for scientific purposes, filmmaking, and investigations.

Now, 100 years of warning the Titanic tragedy, it seems like the perfect time to end the expedition to the ship, giving the opportunity he rest in peace on the ocean floor.

Sinking of the Titanic tragedy was a turning point in history, when people realize that nature can not always be tamed by technology. That the ship, no matter how great, can not be guaranteed not to sink ".
