New Titanic expedition finds lost bronze ‘Diana of Versailles’ statue

First salvage expedition in years captures more than 2m high-resolution images of 1912 shipwreck

A bronze statue from the Titanic - not seen in decades and feared to be lost for good - is among the discoveries made by the company with salvage rights to the wreck site on its first expedition there in many years.

RMS Titanic Inc, a Georgia-based company that holds the legal rights to the 112-year-old wreck, has completed its first trip since 2010 and released images from the expedition on Monday. The pictures show a site that continues to change more than a century later.
