I have a side-question: do they actually see the Titanic directly, when they go down there? It seemed from the pictures that there was only a computer screen in that submersible, and no window. Is it all about seeing it on the screen and feeling the moves of the submersible synchronized to it? That experience feels easily replicable from the surface…
I don’t understand why one would think there is no window. I’ve read a couple of comments like that. The thing is called “cyclops”, articles discuss the large porthole dome window, and it’s fairly visible in photos.
At the time I had only seen pictures from an angle where the window couldn’t be seen, so yeah it didn’t make sense to me at the time. I also had not read anywhere about the Cyclops name before just now, or read articles about the vessel itself. I’m not sure what there is to be puzzled about, we’re similarly not all similarly caught up, we just haven’t all read the same articles.
