In happier news, during this expedition, the team was able to rediscover another iconic part of the ship that had previously been thought to be gone for good. In 1986, a two-foot-tall bronze statue of Diana, the Roman goddess of nature and hunting, was photographed perched upon a fireplace mantle in a well-preserved first-class lounge. However, since that initial sighting, no other expedition has reported seeing the statue and her absence was chalked up to deterioration, which was the case for most of the art the ship originally contained.
Luckily, RMS Titanic Inc.’s “Expedition 2024” caught sight of Diana and quickly proclaimed their excitement. Accompanied by a photo of the statue nestled in debris, they wrote, “Following 112 years on the ocean floor and a brief sighting in 1986, she is still resting upright among miles of debris. Like the eternal Roman deities, she is timeless, and she is rediscovered thanks to Expedition 2024.”
