When I was in Las Vegas two years ago I visited the Titanic Exhibition in the Luxor Hotel, well worth a visit, here is a brief description from their website. There was also a model of the damaged bow section resting on the seabed, it must have been about 20 ft long.

The 25,000-square-foot exhibit features numerous items from the Titanic, including luggage, the ship's whistles, floor tiles from the first-class smoking room, a window frame from the Verandah Cafe and an unopened bottle of champagne with a 1900 vintage. In addition, the exhibit features a piece of Titanic’s hull, a full-scale re-creation of the Grand Staircase as well as a newly expanded outer Promenade Deck, complete with the frigid temperatures felt on that fateful April night.

These actual artifacts, recovered from two and one half miles below the surface of the North Atlantic, tell the story behind the legendary Titanic’s short journey from construction and destruction to eventual recovery. Walk her decks, peer into her cabins and meet her passengers and crew.

Described as a floating palace, the incomparable Titanic was deemed "practically unsinkable" by the White Star Line and its builders. However, on a calm April night in 1912, the massive luxury liner struck an iceberg and slowly sank into the North Atlantic. Since then, many items from the wreckage have been recovered and added to Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition.

The personal artifacts on display offer haunting, emotional connections to the forever-altered lives of those on board the Titanic. Visitors even have a chance to walk through authentically re-created first- and third-class rooms, with furnishings by original manufacturers.

Hi Peter, You might find this website interesting. http://home.wanadoo.nl/john.vanderree/timeline.htm. It covers the whole timeline of the Titanic.

Although Dr Ballard's Woodholes institute funded the search, it was actually Oceaneering a company I worked for who provided the Vessel and ROV and actually found the Titanic. Before I retired I had access to hours of video footage both externally and internally of the Titanic. Ballard had the copyright so only he could release what he wanted to the public. A similar arrangement existed for the discovery of HMS Hood and Bismark, which was in much deeper water.. About 17,600 ft where as the Titanic was about 12,600 ft. Cheers Derek
