New images of Titanic reveal part of iconic bow's railing collapsed, other discoveries

Striking new images from a recent expedition to the Titanic wreckage show the decay on the iconic ship's bow with a large section of railing now on the sea floor, as well as the discovery of a bronze statue from the ship that was feared lost forever.

The railing – immortalized in James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster film – was discovered during a series of dives by underwater robots this summer.

RMS Titanic Inc., a Georgia-based company that holds the legal rights to the 112-year-old wreck, completed its first trip since 2010 and released images from the expedition on Monday. The pictures show a site that continues to change more than a century later.
