LOS ANGELES — Ralph Bradshaw White, whose film footage of the Titanic provided the world with a look at the underwater wreckage of the sunken ship, has died. He was 66.

White died Feb. 4 from complications of an aortic aneurysm at Glendale Adventist Medical Center, his daughter, Krista Few, told the Los Angeles Times.

The explorer and documentary cameraman was a member of the French-American expedition that discovered the remains of the Titanic in 1985.

White returned to the site more than 30 times to film and recover artifacts from the ship's wreckage. He boasted that he spent more time on the Titanic than its captain had.

Footage he captured of the ship appeared in James Cameron's 1997 Oscar-winning film "Titanic" and in the early 1990s IMAX documentary "Titanica."

"There's something truly magical about her lying down there, still beckoning after all these years," White told USA Today in 2000. "But I don't really know why the Titanic has such an allure for me. Does anyone ever understand why they fall in love?"

As a contract cameraman for National Geographic, White also searched for the Loch Ness monster, filmed wild horses, whales and sharks and documented the 153-year-old wreck of the Breadalbane under the Arctic ice cap.
