A year later, he came back to the wreck of the Titanic. He used a small submarine that he had built to travel to the wreck and take pictures. It took over four hours for him and his team to reach the wreck. They were the first people to visit the wreck of the Titanic. James Cameron, who was the director of the film Titanic, he recently became the first person to reach and travel by himself to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
