It's the world's only 8K footage of the Titanic—and it's absolutely incredible!

Ocean exploration company OceanGate Expeditions just released some jaw-dropping footage of the RMS Titanic, more than a century after the devastating shipwreck. The 8K video reveals all-new levels of detail and colors in never-before-seen footage.

The extraordinary footage premiered on the OceanGate Expeditions YouTube channel on August 30.

"The amazing detail in the 8k footage will help our team of scientists and maritime archaeologists characterize the decay of the Titanic more precisely as we capture new footage in 2023 and beyond. Capturing this 8K footage will allow us to zoom in and still have 4K quality which is key for large screen and immersive video projects. Even more remarkable are the phenomenal colors in this footage," says Stockton Rush, President, OceanGate Expeditions.

The newly released 8K video footage reveals new details, including the "Titanic’s renowned bow, the portside anchor, hull number one, an enormous anchor chain (each link weighs approximately 200 pounds or nearly 91 kilograms), the number one cargo hold, and solid bronze capstans."

"I had never seen the name of the anchor maker, Noah Hingley & Sons Ltd., on the portside anchor," says Rory Golden, OceanGate Expeditions Titanic expert and veteran Titanic diver. "I’ve been studying the wreck for decades and have completed multiple dives, and I can't recall seeing any other image showing this level of detail. It is exciting that, after so many years, we may have discovered a new detail that wasn’t as obvious with previous generations of camera technologies."

Nearly 1,500 people died on the Titanic after it struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912, and then sank in the early morning of April 15.

OceanGate Expeditions says they're planning for another Titanic expedition, which is planned to embark in May 2023.
