The man who discovered the wreck of the Titanic is to return to its final resting place to capture new images of the ship for the £100m visitor attraction in Belfast.  Dr Robert Ballard will journey two-and-a-half miles to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean next month to film the mangled stern section, which broke off from the rest of the liner as she sank on her maiden voyage in 1912.
His footage will enable Belfast's Titanic Signature Project, which is under construction in the same docklands where the ship was built, to show visitors the first complete image of the wreck which Dr Ballard discovered in 1985.

Live streamed pictures of all future submarine trips to the wreck will also be broadcast in the centre from April next year when it opens just ahead of the 100th anniversary of the sinking.  The centre compromises nine separate galleries, each telling a different part of the Titanic story, from the Harland and Wolff shipyard and the disaster that claimed more than 1,500 lives, to its eventual rediscovery 70 years later.
