What s True
In 2019, explorers made five submersible dives to the Titanic wreck with the DSV Limiting Factor. It concluded that the ship was rapidly deteriorating. What s False
It was misleading for a December 2020 online advertisement to make it appear as if the expedition had just happened. One Titanic historian referred to the expedition as shocking. However, an oceanographer who had also explored Titanic in 2010 said he didn t see what was so shocking about it.
Origin
In December 2020, the website HistoricalPost.com advertised a new dramatic story about the Titanic: “Divers Exploring The Titanic Wreckage Made A Spine-Chilling New Discovery.”
The advertisement led to an 80-page story with the headline: “Divers Explored The Titanic For The First Time In 14 Years – And They Made A Haunting Discovery.” The story also described the “new discovery” as being “deeply shocking.”
