ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland An expedition surveying the wreck of the Titanic is showing off some crisp images of the worlds most famous shipwreck.
Officials from Expedition Titanic are using a pair of robots to take thousands of photographs and hours of video of the wreck, which lies roughly 2.5 miles 4 kilometers below the surface.
The hi-resolution images include shots of the ships bow, clearly showing the railing and anchors.
The expedition left Newfoundland earlier this month to the spot in the Atlantic where the ship struck an iceberg in 1912 and sank. More than 1,500 passengers and crew perished.
Officials said in a statement said Sunday they are now headed back to shore because high seas and winds brought on by hurricane Danielle are preventing researchers from carrying out their work.
