Bill Lange of WHOI said: “Now we know where everything is. After a
hundred years, the lights are finally on.” The multi-million dollar
project saw three robots sent down to the Titanic, and they moved the length
of the ship capturing thousands of images with optical cameras and sonar
devices.
The expedition’s chief scientist James Selgado told National Geographic: “This
is a game-changer. In the past, trying to understand Titanic was like trying
to understand Manhattan at midnight in a rainstorm, with a flashlight.
“Now we have a site that can be understood and measured, with definite
things to tell us. In years to come this historic map may give voice to
those people who were silenced, seemingly forever, when the cold water
closed over them.”
