A documentary account of the Grimm/Harris expedition: Titanic 1981. Using sonar & other modern scientific instruments, scientists, oceanographers & film makers battle the forces of water & wind in their second attempt to locate the Titanic. The focus of the documentary is on the technology required to search for and hopefully record the ship. This is the second of two expeditions, the first was: Titanic 1980 and has also been released by the title: Search for the Titanic.

The Titanic, a passenger ship, sunk during her maiden voyage in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15,1912, two hours and forty minutes after a collision with an iceberg on April 14, 1912. Over 1 500 people perished. The shipwreck was discovered by a team led by Robert Ballard and Jean Louis Michel in 1985.

A documentary account of the expedition: Titanic 1980. Using sonar & other modern scientific instruments, scientists, oceanographers & film makers battle the forces of water & wind in their first attempt to locate the resting place of the Titanic and film the ill-fated ship. The primary focus of the documentary is the technology involved in locating and hopefully recording the ship. However, the film includes: a biographical account of the ship, an account of the search operation for those who persished, a grave marker for an unclaimed child, interviews with survivors, and other lesser known facts surrounding the Titanic legacy. Of interest is Orson Wells report of a lesser known late 19th century author who wrote a fictional story of a ship named Titan that perished one starry April night by colliding with an iceberg; a story that foreshadows that of the Titanic. This 1980 expedition to the Titanic is the first of two, the second is: Titanic 1981, where the team has plans to take submarine dive down to the Titanic, if it can be located.

A series of news recordings and shows that discuss the recent discovery of the Titanic by a Franco-American team led by Jean Louis Michel and Robert Ballard in 1985. Some of the topics discussed are: the challenges of discovering the Titanic, the preservation state of the ship, future plans of exploration and the possibility of raising the wreck. Some of those interviewed are Robert Ballard, Ralph White, Joe MacInnis as well as Eva Hart, a survivor of the Titanic.

Over 1 500 people perished. The Titanic had remained undiscovered for 73 years despite numerous expeditions.

A documentary that covers many aspects of the Titanic legacy beginning at the ships conception and ending with artifacts recovered from the wreck. The topics also cover differing theories of loss, interviews with survivors and the technology involved in divine the Titanic. An account of the ships descent is reiterated while showing the locations of events on the ship at its present state at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. These documentary and recovery dives to the Titanic were done using the Nautile submersible.

Electronic press kit for the movie: Return to the Titanic...live. The news features, designed for the press, cover various aspects of the movie like: how the Titanic was discovered, the technology involved in diving to the titanic, items recovered from the wreckage, accounts of survivors, and how the recent discoveries have changed the story of why the great ship went sunk.

The film is a documentary account of the preparation and descent of the Russian submersibles MIR 1 and MIR 2 into the depths of the Titanic. Hosted by Walter Cronkite. The film begins with a merger of underwater technology between North Americans and Russians, a technology pioneered by the Russians. Following this, a team of researchers, explorers, photographers, filmmakers and scientists board the Russian ship Akademik Keldysh on route to explore the Titanic. Two submersibles are launched on a 24-hour day schedule and the images recorded are extraordinary. The film then focuese on the treasures found in the deep; ceramics, coins, an unopened safe, as well as parts of the ship that were at this time previously unexplored and provide clues to the sinking of this massive ship.

A news segment of Canada AM morning news on 13 December. Interview of Dr. Joseph MacInnis conducted by Pamela Wallin. The topic of interviews is the expedition to the Breadalbane shipwreck on the ocean floor of the Northwest Passage. Footage include railing, deck house, ship wheel and compass, and pink/orange coral growth on the wreckage.
Footage taken with a National Geographic camera system.

The film is an episode of "Walter Cronkite's Universe". Cronkite joins a team in the Alvin (a Deep Submergence Vehicle) to the ocean floor to view the thermal vents and aquatic life of the Oceanic Ridge. Crinkite interviews geologist Robert Ballard on the topography of the ridges. Footage is shown of Cronkite boarding ships, entering the Alvin and diving down to the ocean floor. A crate full of deep sea aquatic animals is raised to the ship deck where marine biologists study and experiment on the different animals.

This film is the second half of a Dalhousie lecture conducted by Dr. Joseph MacInnis. This topic of the lecture of September expedition to the Breadalbane shipwreck in the Northwest Passage.

Still images of expedition and wreckage are in colour. MacInnis and presentor shown in black & white.

The Titanic, the largest and most luxurious passenger ship in the world for her time, sank during her maiden voyage in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, two hours and forty minutes after a collision with an iceberg. Over 1,500 people perished. In 1985, the wreck of the Titanic was found on the ocean floor by a research team led by Robert Ballard and Jean Louis Michel. Dr. Joe MacInnis became the first Canadian to dive to the Titanic shortly afterwards. The footage in this collection features images of the ship obtained during a 1991 dive that formed the basis of the IMAX production Titanica. Recordings are of varying stages of production from raw footage to feature length films, and include programs from television and radio.

Two CTV news segments of the expedition to find the Titanic wreckage. 1) Sep 2/85 St. John's: Titanic Seen/Gage. This segment discusses the American research ship "Nor" in the north Atlantic Ocean searching for the Titanic. Black & white images are shown of the underwater wreckage with voice over from MacInnis. Other content include black & white historical footage of the Titanic's maiden voyage and interviews with MacInnis and Titanic survivor Eva Hart.

2) Sep 3/85 St. John's: Titanic Pictures/Pryer undiscovered for 73 years despite numerous expeditions.

During the expedition, MacInnis and his team photographs the wreckage, studies the biological and geological aspects of the ship. Footage include MacInnis and his team setting up camp in the Arctic, divers Phil Newton and Doug Osbourne in a "Wasp Suit" and images of the shipwreck.
