What has been going on in 2B?
The wreck is RMS Titanic. As the team were sending their cameras down to look around the wreck, they needed to find out about the ship. As part of their staff training they have discovered what Titanic looked like inside and outside, what facilities were like for the different passengers, where it was travelling from and to and what happened to the ship.
The team have been asked by Professor Yoshimi from the University of Hawaii to investigate whether a shipwreck within the Midnight Zone of the Atlantic Ocean is a living wreck. This means that living creatures have made it their home. They have been using many scientific skills. They have been measuring creatures, tallying numbers of creatures, sorting and classifying things found in the ocean and creating labelled diagrams.
The team had discovered a large whale carcass on the ocean floor. It seemed to be attracting lots of different creatures. After 18 months they returned to find just the skeleton and some tube worms.
A team was needed to monitor the Midnight Zone in the Atlantic Ocean. Some people had had previous experience of working in the ocean when they part of the Big Ocean Clean Up team. The team have some large tanks containing bioluminescent creatures and angler fish.
