Project Wreck Exploration: RMS Titanic

What is Project Wreck Exploration?
PWE is one of my "small" side projects I made when I felt burned out after building my bigger, primary projects. It aims to recreate some of history's most famous shipwrecks, packed with a nice decorative research vessel the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, and a Mir deep sea submersible for you to control.
The Wrecks are accurately recreated and are 1:1 size, some of them are even in a realistic depth (only the ones that lie in a depth of less than 300 meters)


This build was made in memory of all the men, women, and children whose lives were lost during this terrible disaster. May they all rest in peace, and may never such event happen again.


WARNING!

To use this build, you have to create a custom water spawn, far from any of the vanilla islands:
This build has a massive 2 km x 2 km size base platform which would cause it to explode if you tried to spawn at the default water spawn.



History

RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Titanic was the second in the line of Olympic-class ocean liners, and was launched in 1911. At the time of her completetion, she was the largest ship in the world. She departed on her maiden voyage on the 10th of April, 1912. Four days later, on the 14th of April, at around 23:40, she struck an iceberg which caused catastrophic damage in her hull. Around 2:20 am, two hours after hitting the iceberg, she broke in half and went under, leaving approximately 1500 people in the water. She now lies at a depth of 3784 meters, in two bigger pieces that are about 600 meters far from each other, with a huge debris field around them.
The Wreck was discovered in 1985 by Robert Ballard in an expedition sponsored by the United States Navy (the initial goal of the expedition was to find the sunk US Submarines, USS Scorpion and USS Thresher. Ballard whose lifelong dream was to find the Titanic's wreck, made a deal with the USN: They fund his expedition but only if he first finds the two subarines. After he found them, he was free to search for the Titanic)
Since Ballard's initial discovery, several other expeditions were led to the wreck to examine her. Thousands of artifacts have been recovered from her, including her bell, pieces of the hull, and many personal items of the passengers.


Now about my build

Base Platform Size: 1625 m x 1625 m

Actual Part Count: 627

Depth: 335 meters

This builds features an accurate, 1:1 replica of the Titanic's wreck and the debris field around it. It also features the replica of the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, a Russian research vessel that was used in James Cameron's 1997 Titanic movie. The third vehicle of the build is a Mir submersible. Two of these submerisbles exist, the Mir-1 and Mir-2, both of them operate from the Keldysh in real life, and similarly to her, they also had a part in the 1997 movie.
You can control the Mir sub to move around while the rest of the build is all stationary.
The bow part of the wreck is located roughly below the Keldysh and almost next to the starting point of the submersible.


Controls:

  • Pitch - Sub ascend-descend
  • Roll - Sub yaw
  • Throttle - Sub forward propulsion
  • Thorttle + AG6 - Sub reverse propulsion (reverts the propulsion of Throttle. If you had 70% propulsion before activating AG6, after activating it, the propeller will produce -70% propulsion)
  • AG7 - Lights

Some screenshots:


As always, I hope you like this build!

    I like the attention to detail, as it's stated that her middle screw was also 3 bladed
    And that part count is impressive damn

    Cool. I also can’t go underwater since I’m on mobile, but it is a cool idea and a good replica
