:34:00
on both the port
and the starboard side.

:34:03
Through the eyes of the R. O.V.,
:34:05
we could see the wrought-iron
gates just inside the doors,

:34:09
which were unknown to historians
until this expedition.

:34:12
We had no idea what was inside,
and now we know.

:34:15
This is the way
they boarded the ship.

:34:17
They came in through that door,
and then this inner door.

:34:27
And in this entrance vestibule,
:34:29
there was a large sideboard
against the aft wall

:34:32
where lots of first-class china
was stored.

:34:34
The dish cabinet
had more or less rotted away.

:34:38
But you could see the teacups
and the little dishes

:34:40
stacked perfectly there.
:34:42
I wish I had those dishes,
you know?

:34:44
Give it up on eBay.
:34:48
There's the elevators.
:34:52
There's...
:34:53
There's the shaft.
:34:57
Look at that.
:35:01
I thought they called them
"lifts," but you know what?

:35:03
The ship was owned
by an American company.

:35:07
Hmm.
:35:08
Like you could
just call them now.

:35:11
Whenever you're
looking at the elevator grilles,

:35:13
try to remember to turn
and look forward and see.

:35:16
There may still be paneling
right amidships,

:35:18
and there will be
brass letters that say

:35:20
"A" deck, "B" deck,
"C" deck, or "D" deck.

:35:23
When you come out
of the elevators.

:35:24
Most likely that paneling
is down. But you never know.

:35:27
That would be a classic shot
:35:28
to have that lettering
still clinging.

:35:30
Ken loves this stuff.
:35:33
I feel like I'm making a film
for one person. Ken Marschall.

:35:38
And there it is.
Bingo, baby.

:35:40
- Tell him "bingo. "
Bingo.

:35:43
The "A" had recently
fallen from its own weight.

:35:46
That brass letter was heavier
than the "D," "E," "C," "K."

:35:51
Okay. I see where we are.
We just peeked into "D" 35.

:35:54
We were methodical
exploring the interior.

:35:57
We had to be because the wreck
can be very disorienting.
