Apr. 13—Although the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912, and was not found until 1985, the fascination surrounding her has not abated.

A 34-image photo gallery of the Titanic is available at AllThatsInteresting.com, taken before and after the sinking. Pictured, the first class reading room, courtesy of Wikipedia Commons.

A 30-image gallery of the inside of the ship, including the staterooms, is online at GoodHousekeeping.com.

But the most haunting visuals come from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's uncut 1986 footage, taken by the human-occupied robot Alvin, and remotely operated Jason Junior. This film was just recently released to the public for the first time.
