In a significant breakthrough, researchers with RMS Titanic Inc. rediscovered and photographed the "Diana of Versailles" statue, previously captured in 1986, now revealing its precise location.
The expedition enabled clearer documentation of the Titanic wreck site, demonstrating how parts are deteriorating as James Penca noted, "She's aging like a grandparent that you just love."
Over 2 million images were taken during the latest expedition, marking a monumental effort in understanding the Titanic's decay and changes in its underwater environment.
Prior to this expedition, the exact location of the bronze statue was elusive, illustrating the challenges researchers face when documenting the Titanic's scattered remains.
