:05:01
I'm gonna explore these cabins.
:05:02
There is no script. We don't
know what we're gonna see.
:05:05
We don't know
what we're gonna encounter.
:05:08
The crucial thing
about deep-sea photography
:05:11
is lighting.
:05:13
Just come up over and light
all this business down here.
:05:16
- You see what I mean?
- Yeah.
:05:18
So we had a sister ship on
the expedition called the "EAS."
:05:23
The "EAS" had
this giant lighting chandelier
:05:26
called Medusa.
:05:28
The theory was to lower the
chandelier down over the wreck
:05:32
and do this overlighting,
almost like moonlight.
:05:36
There was no manual
for any of this.
:05:38
Nobody had ever combined
this many elements
:05:40
into a single-dive operation
before at these depths.
:05:45
We were pushing the limits
of technology,
:05:48
which was a little eerie
:05:50
given the fate of the ship
we had come to explore.
:05:58
This is where it all happened.
:06:01
It could be any other part
of the ocean,
:06:03
but there's something special
about knowing
:06:05
this is the spot
and the wreck's down there.
:06:07
Why this shipwreck?
Why not the "Lusitania"?
:06:11
Why not the "Moro Castle"?
Why not the "Atlantic"?
:06:14
They're all good.
:06:15
They're all good,
but why is this one?
:06:17
Look at the stuff
that comes with this.
:06:18
You've got the biggest ship
on its maiden voyage,
:06:21
the president of the company
onboard that owns it,
:06:23
the builder onboard.
:06:25
And it hits an iceberg,
and it sinks so slowly
:06:28
that you've got all these hours
for drama to be acted out.
:06:31
You don't get that
with other shipwrecks.
:06:33
It's really a Greek tragedy
for real.
:06:36
She was so cheated.
She was so beautiful.
:06:39
So much energy went into
building this creation.
:06:42
You know, the epitome
of human engineering
:06:45
and architecture, maritime
architecture at that point.
:06:48
And to have it taken away,
stolen,
:06:50
just four days out of England.
:06:53
And that's part, I guess,
of the odd attraction to it.
:06:58
The fact that you could never
have such a thing happen
