Titanic: A Tale Of Two Journeys

 

This stunning and visually rich programme follows the winner of The History Channel's Titanic competition as he sets off to dive down to the wreck of the famous liner, which was discovered by Robert D. Ballard in 1985.

 

Subtly interweaving his modern day journey on the research vessel Keldysh with the story of the original fateful voyage of the Titanic, the programme takes a fresh look at the great ship and her unfortunate passengers.

 

The History Channel follows competition winners Rob Goldsmith and his father Danny to the very spot in the Mid Atlantic where the Titanic sank nearly 100 years ago. Rob has been obsessed with Titanic since the age of eight and this is his dream come true - to travel 12, 500 feet to the bottom of the ocean, bringing him face to face with the wreck of Titanic.

 

He is only one of a handful of people who have been fortunate enough to see the great liner, and this was made possible by the Akademik Keldysh, a Russian research ship that operates two of only five deep sea submersibles that can descend to such depths.

 

'Titanic: A Tale of Two Journeys' accounts the remarkable life of the ship and the people who survived and perished that cold April night, with brand new images from the wreck itself, never before seen on Television. Two emotional journeys with one thing in common: the Titanic.
