Secrets of the Titanic DVD

''God Himself could not sink this ship.''—Titanic crewman

The unsinkable ship sank at 2:20 a.m. on April 14, 1912. Approximately 1,500 people perished with her, a loss that stunned the world. For seven decades the fabled liner lay hidden 13,000 feet below the North Atlantic surface. Various expeditions tried to find her, but they were defeated by wild weather, the extreme depth, and conflicting accounts of the ship's last moments. Finally, in 1985, explorer Robert Ballard and a French-American team became the first humans to see Titanic since that awful night to remember in 1912.
