Additional details about the Titanic wreck
The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on the night of April 14–15, 1912, after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.
The wreck of the Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) in the North Atlantic Ocean, about 370 miles (600 kilometers) south-southeast of Newfoundland. The wreck was discovered in 1985 by a joint US-French expedition led by Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel.
Since its discovery, the Titanic wreck has been the subject of numerous expeditions and research projects. The wreck is a popular tourist destination, and several companies offer submersible tours to the site.
