Olympic-class ocean liner
When "Titanic" sank in 1912 and "Britannic" sank in 1916, their sinkings did not receive the same attention, due to the death toll (1,517 on "Titanic" and 30 on "Britannic"). Because the exact position of the sinking of the "Britannic" is known and the location is shallow, the wreck was discovered relatively easily in 1975. "Titanic", however, drew everyone's attention in 1912. After several attempts, the wreck was finally located by Jean-Louis Michel of Ifremer and Robert Ballard following a top secret mission for the US Navy to investigate the wreckage of two nuclear submarines, USS Thresher (SSN-593) and the USS Scorpion (SSN-589), that sank in the North Atlantic in the 1960s. The discovery of the wreck occurred on 1 September 1985, at 25 kilometres from the position given of the sinking. The wreck lies about 4,000 metres deep, broken in two. The bow is relatively well preserved, but the stern partially imploded, and to a large extent disintegrated during the descent and impact on the seabed.
Titanic: Adventure Out of Time
Players assume the role of Frank Carlson, disgraced British secret service agent. His career having ended after he failed in a mission aboard the RMS "Titanic", he now lives in a small apartment in London, England, surrounded by mementos of his past. On 14 April 1942, Carlson is listening to news of World War II on the radio, when an air raid during the London Blitz occurs, and a bomb hits his apartment, destroying everything in a blast of fire. Carlson blacks out, before awakening in a ship quarters as his younger self. Unaware of what has just happened, he speaks with a steward, and discovers that he is on board the Titanic. He is then informed that the date is April 14, 1912 and that he must meet with fellow agent Penny Pringle. Carlson discovers that he has somehow been transported back in time to the ship on the night it sank. With his memory from the original timeline intact, Carlson uses his advanced knowledge of the future to have a second chance to complete his mission.
