Content: IFREMER and Robert Ballard of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution identified the location of the wreck of the RMS "Titanic" which sank off the coast of Newfoundland 15 April 1912. On 3 April 2011, within a week of resuming of the search operation for Air France Flight 447, a team led by WHOI, operating full ocean depth autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) owned by the Waitt Institute discovered, by means of sidescan sonar, a large portion of debris field from flight AF447. In March 2017 the institution effected an open-access policy to make its research publicly accessible online. The Institution has

Numerous expeditions tried using sonar to map the sea bed in the hope of finding it, but were unsuccessful. In 1985, the wreck was finally located by a joint French–American expedition led by Jean-Louis Michel of IFREMER and Robert Ballard of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The wreck has been the focus of intense interest and has been visited by numerous expeditions. Controversial salvage operations have recovered thousands of items, which have been conserved and put on public display.

Title: Sinking of the RMS Lusitania
Content: In 1993, Dr. Robert Ballard, the famous explorer who discovered "Titanic" and "Bismarck", conducted an in-depth exploration of the wreck of "Lusitania". Ballard tried to confirm John Light's findings of a large hole on the port side of the wreck, and he didn't find anything. During his investigation, Ballard noted a large quantity of coal on the sea bed near the wreck, and after consulting an explosives expert advanced the theory of a coal dust explosion. He believed dust in the bunkers would have been thrown into the air by the vibration from the explosion; the resulting cloud would have

The microbial colonies aboard "Titanic" were also a key focus of investigation. The second expedition, from 27 May – 12 June 2004, saw the return of Robert Ballard to "Titanic" nearly 20 years after he discovered it. The expedition spent 11 days on the wreck, carrying out high-resolution mapping using video and stereoscopic still images. 2005 saw two expeditions to the "Titanic". James Cameron returned for the third and last time to film "Last Mysteries of the Titanic". Another expedition searched for

Grimm announced on his return to Boston that "Titanic" had been found, but the scientists declined to endorse his identification. In July 1983, Grimm went back a third time with Ryan aboard the research vessel "Robert D. Conrad" to have another look at the "propeller". This time nothing was found and very bad weather brought an early end to the expedition. It later turned out that Sea MARC had actually passed over "Titanic" but had failed to detect it, while Deep Tow passed within of the wreck.
