The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute has released over 80 minutes of rare footage from the 1986 expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic wherein the downed vessel was observed by humans for the first time. According to a press release, the breathtaking video was captured around a year after the remains of the ship were discovered in September of 1985.
