Titanic: James Cameron says he visited the wreck of the ship 33 times

In an interview with the American television network CBS, James Cameron, director of the film Titanic, revealed that he dived more than 30 times at the site with the wreck of the ship that sank in 1912.

I feel very connected to the story, having dived the wreck 33 times. The more you study, the more you become fascinated with the story of the Titanic. I always say how fragile she is. You think you understand it until you get closer and see that there’s a lot more complexity to the story.

The director also commented on the ship’s items being auctioned:

Here’s where you get into a gray area. They have to fund these collections somehow. They have to finance their travels around the world by showing them off. I think when you sell them and they go to a private place and they’re never seen again, that crosses the line. When you see these glasses, you think, ‘Who was this person? What did she experience him? It connects you to the story.
