Description

Sept. 1, 1985, a wreck was discovered 13,000 feet below the surface.

A 2017 photo of the Titanic Museum, Belfast, Northern Ireland, processed with a metal effect in black and white. Titanic Belfast is a visitor attraction on the site of the former Harland & Wolff shipyard where the RMS Titanic was built. Each architectural projection is the size and shape of the bow of the Titanic. This "heavy metal" building stands as a monument to Belfast's maritime heritage.
The Titanic sunk to the North Atlantic ocean floor, about 400 miles east of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic. American Robert D. Ballard headed a joint US-French expedition, which used an experimental, unmanned submersible developed by the U.S. Navy to search for the ocean liner. The Argo traveled just above the ocean floor, sending photographs up to the research vessel Knorr. In the early morning of September 1, Argo was investigating debris on the ocean floor when it suddenly passed over one of the Titanic‘s massive boilers. The wreck was subsequently explored by manned and unmanned submersibles, which shed new light on the details of its 1912 sinking.
