Here, the last "davit" remaining on the wreck of RMS Titanic. These lifeboat cranes were used to hoist the ship's wooden lifeboats over the side and into the water during Titanic's sinking. Many of the boats launched soon after the sinking were not close to fullpassengers refused to believe the seriousness of the situation. (AP Photo/RMS Titanic Inc)

The port side of the bow section clearly shows a rip in the hull at right, with the stern coming to rest several thousand feet away. The small rectangular windows admit light into Titanic's famous suites, while the square windows on the left mark the Private Promenade reserved for exclusive use of those booking the best shipboard accommodations in the world.

A team of scientists used a pair of robots to take thousands of photographs and hours of video of the wreck in 2010, which lies roughly 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) below the surface near St. John's, Newfoundland. The starboard side of the Titanic bow is shown in this photo. (AP Photo/Premier Exhibitions, Inc./Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
Scientists are using imaging technology and sonar devices that have never been used before on the Titanic wreck. They are probing nearly a century of sediment in the debris field to seek a full inventory of the ship's artifacts. (AP Photo/Premier Exhibitions, Inc./Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
The 2010 expedition fully mapped the 5km-by-8km wreck site, which is located 4000m below the ocean's surface. The experts said the entire debris field has now been documented for the first time. (AP Photo/Premier Exhibitions, Inc.-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
Sonar imaging allowed for a never-before-seen perspective of Titanic's bow. Visible are the mast, superstructure and openings for the one and two funnels, as well as the Grand Staircase. (Waitt Institutes/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution/Premier Exhibitions)
