Remotely Operated Exploration Tools:
James Cameron's fascination with Titanic had led him to develop a series of remotely operated vehicles (ROV) to conduct what he terms an interior archeological survey of the ship. A rudimentary ROV, called Snoop Dog, was used to film the ship's grand staircase in 1995. It was followed by smaller and more versatile models Jake, Elwood, and Gilligan. To date, more than 65 percent of Titanic's surviving internal spaces have been documented. In Cameron's words, "In all that exploration, the strongest memories are these out-of-body experiences of ghostwalking through the corridors and stairwells of Titanic via my ROV avatar." |
