Rare Titanic footage from pioneering 1986 dive reveals glimpses of doomed liner

The cache of more than 80 minutes of rare and mostly unseen video comes from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) of Massachusetts, which partnered with French explorers in the discovery of the ship's remains. The release commemorates the 25th anniversary and reissue of the blockbuster movie Titanic, whose director and writer, James Cameron, continues to support Titanic research.

The Titanic sank on 14 April 1912 after striking an iceberg, with more than 1,500 lives lost, in one of the deadliest and most significant maritime disasters in history.
