OUTLINE
I. In fact, four electronic robotic devices were used to aid scientists in discovering and in exploring the Titanic.
II. Two electronic devices were used to discover and to explore the outside of the ship.
A. Argo, a large underwater robot, was the first of the two robots that was used to find the Titanic.
1. Argo’s size
2. Argo’s weight
3. Way Argo worked and what it did
4. Attached to the Knorr
B. Angus, the second robotic device, was used to photograph the exterior of the ship.
1. What Angus did
2. What Angus found
III. Alvin, another robotic device, allowed humans to actually see the ship.
A. Alvin was a very unique, tiny submarine.
1. Named after
2. When he was built
3. Developed
4. Size
B. While using Alvin, scientists were faced with several limitations, but adaptations were made to correct them.
1. Depth limitations
2. Modifications were made
3. New capabilities because of modifications
C. Because of the new improvements, Alvin enabled scientists to learn more about the Titanic.
1. Allowed scientists to get closer to the wreckage
2. Scientists saw a lot
IV. Since Alvin was unable to enter the Titanic, a new device was created, called J J.
A. With J J, this electronic mechanism allowed scientists to view the interior of the ship.
1. What J J was
2. Size of J J
3. How J J operated
B. Although it was not definite that J J could withstand the ocean’s pressure, the robot performed well.
1. Where J J went
2. What J J saw
V. With the help of these electronic robotic devices, scientists were able to locate and then explore the ship; also, several of the mysteries that were hidden in the Titanic were discovered.
The SS Titanic, a British steamship which was said to be unsinkable, left Southampton, England in 1912. The vessel never reached its intended destination of New York City, New York. Instead, on its first and only voyage, the Titanic was recorded lost at sea at 11:40 pm on April 14, 1912 when it collided with an iceberg, killing over fifteen hundred people. Even eighty years after the ship had been missing, people wanted answers to this unsolved tragedy: how could a vessel of the Titanic’s size disappear and how could the unsinkable ship, sink? Equipped with several technologically advanced devices, researchers from France and the US found the wreckage of the Titanic in 1985. In fact, four electronic robotic devices were used to aid scientists in discovering and in exploring the Titanic.
Two electronic devices were used to discover and to explore the outside of this giant ship. Argo, a large underwater robot, was used to find the Titanic. The size of a small car, Argo...
