“84 years have passed,” an elderly woman began to speak Rose in one of the scenes titanic What more memes have caused. In it, the woman begins her dissertation when she is asked about the heart of the sea, the jewel with which he appears in a portrait buried among the remains of the shipwreck. This titanic necklace it is nothing more than a fictional gem, the fruit of the imagination of the writers of James Cameron. However, recently the discovery of a real necklace has been made known, buried in the jumble of iron and mud that has become what was once advertised as an unsinkable ship.
This real Titanic necklace is a gold jewel with a pendant formed by a megalodon tusk, an ancient giant shark, now extinct. In its day, and also now, it must have been valued at a huge sum of money, so it must have belonged to one of the first-class passengers. However, there is no record of who could have owned it.
For this reason, those responsible for its discovery, which has been possible thanks to the current progress of underwater navigation technologiesthey hope they can use artificial intelligence to find that person and return the Titanic necklace to their descendants.
The discovery of the real Titanic necklace
Magellan is a company that is dedicated to the elaboration of deep water maps in different areas of the world, including the Titanic shipwrecklocated in the Atlantic Ocean, about 685 km from the island of Newfoundland, in Canada.
During the mapping of this area took more than 700,000 digital scans resolution, whose analysis led to a surprising finding. There, buried among the wreckage of the ocean liner, was a particularly striking jewel.
The first thought that assails us when looking at the jewel is why they have not removed the Titanic necklace from the shipwreck. However, at the moment they cannot. There is a regulation by which the public cannot extract any items from the wreck. However, from Magellan they hope that an exception can be made with this jewel so that it can be returned to its owners.
Obviously, these are no longer alive. We cannot forget that the sinking took place in April 1912. However, they could find their descendants.
An interesting use of artificial intelligence
To search for the possible owners of the Titanic necklace, Magellan technicians have the artificial intelligence. An image tracking algorithm could analyze surviving photographs of people who boarded the ship, looking for someone wearing the jewel.
In the film it was a pencil drawing that brought out the existence of the jewel and its owner. Now we have the jewel, but we are missing the images. Technologies have advanced much more than when the film was shot. And this is real life, but who knows? Perhaps there is also a beautiful love story behind the Titanic necklace and this time it does have a happy ending.
