I'm looking out the window, nothing but black ocean.
And then it hit me.
I went, oh.
I slowly started to go up in the submarine.
And within a second or two, I saw the first row of portals, and then the next row of portals, and then the next, and then the railing.
I didn't realize how big it was.
Wow.
So my first experience with the Titanic was this realization of, this is a big wreck.
And then of course, when I got to the railing, the way the current was hitting the side of the Titanic and it pushed the sub like towards the rack, right into it.
And I didn't hit it.
I did an emergency maneuver with the thrusters and regained control.
calmed down a little bit.
And then I was able to do the classic tour of the bow and get good video of it and slowly start serving the wreck.
And then did that for a couple of hours.
And then the front and the back of the ship, the bow and the stern, they're separated by several hundred meters.
So it's kind of cool.
The way you get to the stern is you go to a point on the bow section of the wreck
And you basically, you put yourself in a certain position that you get briefed on.
Then you point the submersible in a certain exact direction, and then just go on that vector for about 40 minutes.
And then by going on that vector, you'll go through the debris field, you'll see some cool stuff on the bottom, and then you'll come to the bottom, the aft of the wreck, which is just a shambles.
