The Titanic's rust-caked bow, an officer's cabin and a promenade window are part of the never-before-seen footage of the shipwreck site, which continues to slowly vanish 12,500 feet below the waves.

In this screenshot captured by NPR, the bow of the shipwrecked Titanic is seen from the first human-operated vehicle to visit the site in 1986. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution released footage from that 1986 dive on Wednesday.

It wasn't until July of 1986, nearly 75 years after the RMS Titanic's ill-fated voyage, that humans finally set eyes on the ship's sunken remains. Now those remains are, in a way, resurfacing, thanks to the release of more than 80 minutes of uncut footage from the first filmed voyage to the wreck. The research team behind the Titanic's discovery, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, released the video on Wednesday.

Available on YouTube, the footage contains shots of the ship never revealed to the public, including its rust-caked bow, intact railings, a chief officer's cabin and a promenade window.At one point, the camera zeroes in on a chandelier, still hanging, swaying against the current in a haunting state of elegant decay.
