Synopsis

Dr. Robert Ballard of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and his research team became the first undersea explorers to locate, photograph, and explore the wreckage of the ill-fated HMS Titanic, which sank on its maiden voyage in 1912, 2 1/2 miles deep in the icy waters of the Atlantic, taking 1500 passengers and crew with it to a watery grave. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge expertise, they recorded the decaying remains of the ocean liner once thought "unsinkable."

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
