Recorded in Florida at Harbor Branch Oceanographic and in the Atlantic Ocean. This recording documents Otis Barton, pioneer underwater explorer and designer of the bathysphere (1930), as he revisits the deep sea 50 years later aboard the Johnson Sea Link 1. The recording includes drawings of the creatures that Barton encountered during his plunges during the era of the bathysphere. Following this, the recording goes on to another deep dive aboard the Johnson Sea Link 1 submersible. Included are close up images of the deep sea animal life collected during this dive. It is not mentioned whether or not Barton also took part in this dive. The bathysphere was designed by underwater explorers Otis Barton and William Beebee and took its first plunge in 1930. A bathysphere consists of a steel sphere with small circular windows of fused quartz. Inside it are the required oxygen tanks. During dives, these vessels were lowered into the water with cables and chains. During its first year, the bathysphere design could already dive to depths of 1,426 feet, two years later breaking records at 3,028 feet. Many discoveries about the deep sea were made from the confines of these vessels.

Captured May 9, 1981, in the Arctic Ocean in Canada's North West Passage. This recording is raw underwater footage of the Breadalbane shipwreck captured using a remote piloted vehicle (RPV, otherwise known as ROV, remote operated vehicle). This recording is almost enirely of the Breadalbane and inhabiting aquatic life. This recording is part of the Breadalbane series of tapes and therefore probably taken at the Breadalbane site in 1981 during an expedition to document and record the shipwreck by Dr. Joe MacInnis and his team. The HMS Breadalbane sunk on August 21 1853 in the Canadian Arctic. It was a British re-supply vessel that was to be the last great search for the Franklin Expedition that disappeared in 1846 in search for the North West Passage. Despite the fact that the ship took only 15 minutes to sink after colliding with ice, all men were rescued aboard the Phoenix, which was traveling with the Breadalbane. The Breadalbane shipwreck was discovered in August of 1980, by Dr. Joe MacInnis and his team, during their 3rd search expedition.

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.

The Titanic, a passenger ship, perished 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 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.

The film is a news clip recording of the Nautile submerging into the ocean to the Titanic wreckage. The Nautile is a small yellow submarine equiped with 2 mechanical arms to pick up artifacts from the Titanic. Interviews include Dr. Joseph MacInnis, Ralph White, and Jacques [Mantile].

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.

The news segment is of a CBS Morning News inteview of MacInnis conducted by Diane Sawyer. The interview discusses a diving team, lead by MacInnis, searching for and investigating the Breadalbane shipwreck. The Breadalbane sank in 1853 when it became trapped in ice in the Northwest Passage. It is considered the northern most shipwreck. 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.
