THE TITANIC

The RMS Titanic was a passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The sinking caused the deaths of more than 1,500 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.

THE WRECK

The wreck of the RMS Titanic is located about 370 miles (600 km) south-southeast of the coast of Newfoundland, lying at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 m). Until 1 September 1985, the location of the wreck was unknown. The wreck lies in two main pieces about a third of a mile (0.6 km) apart.
