Great Rediscovery
The Titanic was the greatest ship ever built: it was luxurious and unbelievably big. It was also supposed to be unsinkable. The ship was completed in 1912 in Ireland and sailed across the Atlantic, (1) …, with more than two thousand passengers on board. In the north Atlantic the ship hit an iceberg and sank. Of the 2,206 passengers only 705 people survived.
In the years after the Titanic sank, many people wanted to find her and many impractical, expensive and often physically impossible schemes have been put forward to raise the wreck from its resting place. They have included ideas such as filling the wreck with ping-pong balls or using half a million tons of liquid nitrogen to turn her into a giant iceberg that would float back to the surface.
But the ship’s exact location was a mystery until 1985 and the technology to reach her did not exist as (2) …. Then in 1985 a team led by Dr Robert Ballard used an unmanned diving vessel called Argo, (3) … that sent pictures back to the research ship. The explorers sent Argo down to the bottom of the ocean. Day after day (4) … and finally found the Titanic.
Two years later another vessel, the Nautile, visited the Titanic. It was equipped with the latest technology, including a movable video camera suitable for filming inside the rooms of the Titanic. The Nautile also had two robotic arms which were operated by a pilot inside the vessel. (5) … the pilot was able to pick up various types of objects.
The Nautile brought back thousands of ordinary objects that were lying on the seabed: toys, eyeglasses, money and jewellery. They were sad reminders (6) …. Once on dry land, the objects were carefully cleaned and restored so that they could be displayed in exhibitions. These objects helped to tell the story of the Titanic and her passengers.
The Nautile’s technology also enabled scientists to answer the question (7) …: what really happened to the Titanic? The new evidence showed that the iceberg had made six small cuts below the waterline which had allowed the water to get into the ship.
- a) by examining the Titanic scientists were able to explain
- b) of the many lost lives
- c) the ship lay at the depth of 3,798 metres

The ship was completed in 1912 in Ireland and sailed across the Atlantic, from England to New York in the USA, with more than two thousand passengers on board.
But the ship’s exact location was a mystery until 1985 and the technology to reach her did not exist as the ship lay at the depth of 3,798 metres.
Then in 1985 a team led by Dr Robert Ballard used an unmanned diving vessel called Argo, which had a video camera that sent pictures back to the research ship.
Day after day they searched the seabed and finally found the Titanic.
The Nautile also had two robotic arms which were operated by a pilot inside the vessel. With their help the pilot was able to pick up various types of objects.
They were sad reminders of the many lost lives.
The Nautile’s technology also enabled scientists to answer the question that had remained a mystery since the sinking: what really happened to the Titanic?
