Have not heard of any recent trips to the ship. Jon will know as he is our resident expert, on all things Titanic. ;D

They are trying to get an expedition down to the wreck for filming content for the 100th anniversary, but I am not sure if they have started yet.

I would say Bill it would be pretty hard to get inside the wreck now as most of it has collapsed :(

Not really you can still get inside with a ROV. They just need to make sure there is plenty of rope for the ROV so she can go deep into the wreak. Me personal I would like to see them go into the Engine room and have a look in there however, I don't know if this will be sealed or something! I would like them to explore the stern more as well.  They always seems to explore the main front of the wreak however, I know becuase of the overhang of Titanic's stern it's quite dangerous and the possibility it may be hard to get inside because of the fact of how un recognizable the stern actualy is! I would like to see her cargo holds on the inside, her dinning rooms again and other areas of the wreak. They could get down into the engine room through the hatches in which the fireman used to get through on the smoke stacks! Am I right in thinking that?

I would agree with you mate, I would love to see the stern explored more, it`s amazing just how unrecognisable the stern actually is, in fact  I would like to see more footage of the exterior of the stern.

I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ONE BUT I THINK IT MAY BE UNRECOGNISABLE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE IT MAY OF SUSTANED DURING THE SINKING SADLY HOWEVER IT BE NICE FOR THEM TO EXPLORE IT MORE I DO AGREE I ALSO THINK THEY NEED TO GO DEEPER INTO THE WREAK AS DEEP AS THEY CAN GO SO WE CAN FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE WREAK AND HER CONDITION!
