The Enduring Fascination with the Titanic Wreck and Its Discovery

Recent reports of a missing submersible visiting the Titanic shipwreck have brought attention to the fact that the Titanic sank closer to Canada than many people realized. The ship sank four days into its Atlantic crossing, around 400 miles off Newfoundland, Canada. The wreck sits on the ocean floor around 12,500 feet deep, with the two major pieces 2,600 feet apart. The search for the missing submersible continues, with experts using sonar and passive techniques to locate it.
