The evolution and impact of deep-sea imaging

Just after 1:00 am on September 1, 1985, a joint WHOI-French expedition discovered the wreck of the Titanic. To do it, they towed grainy, black-and-white video cameras more than two miles below the surface for days. Imaging technology has come a long way since that historic event, bringing breathtaking discoveries from the deep ocean and outer space right to our homes.

Join us to hear how eyes in the deep have changed our view of the ocean—and meet one of the first people to spot the Titanic on the seafloor!

For our Zoom viewers, we’re thrilled to announce that Ocean Encounters events now feature American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation.
