Titanic director James Cameron has launched a secret £165 million 'rescue mission' to bring the ship's treasures back to the UK.
The 62-year-old – whose Oscar-winning 1997 film is the second highest-grossing box-office hit of all time – has teamed up with Dr Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck, along with the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and the Royal Geographical Society, to return 5,500 artefacts to Belfast, where the Titanic was built.
Dr Ballard revealed the rescue plan at a court hearing in Virginia in the US last Wednesday.
