National Geographic To Bring Us A Documentary Featuring The Real Footage Of Titanic

It was on April 15, 1912, when the Titanic, then the world’s largest passenger ship, sank in the North Atlantic Ocean, taking down more than 1,500 passengers and crew. Since then, many documentaries and movies have been made on the incident. National Geographic is now coming up a new documentary, “Mission Titanic”, which will release globally next year.

For the documentary, which has been filmed by Atlantic Productions, the wreck of RMS Titanic has been revisited. A manned submersible went down to the bottom of the North Atlantic (3,810 meters/12,500 feet) in a groundbreaking expedition in early August.

Five dives were made over eight days at the Titanic’s resting place, 370 miles south of Newfoundland, Canada, reports atlanticproductions.tv.

Using high-tech equipment, the team captured footage and images of the wreck that can be used to create 3D models for future augmented and virtual reality.
