How many feet down is the Titanic? When and where did the ship sink?

The doomed submersible Titan’s mission was to explore the site where the Titanic perished.

When did the Titanic collapse, and where are its remains?

Since over a century ago, the collapse of the Titanic has captured public interest and attention as one of the most infamous maritime catastrophes in history.

The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that departed England for New York City in the United States on its maiden voyage on April 10, 1912. To gather up additional passengers, the ship made brief stops in Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown (now known as Cobh), Ireland. On April 14, 1912, shortly before midnight, the Titanic, the world’s largest passenger liner at the time, collided with an iceberg and subsequently sank in the icy waters of the Northern Atlantic Ocean. The ship carried 2,224 passengers, of whom approximately 1,500 perished after impacting the iceberg.

The most well-known shipwreck

A joint French-American expedition commanded by Jean-Louis Michel of IFREMER (the French Research Institute for the Exploitation of the Sea) and Dr. Robert Ballard of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution discovered the Titanic’s wreckage on September 1, 1985.

The shipwreck is approximately 3,800 meters (3,800 feet) below the ocean floor. Throughout the last century, numerous submarine missions to the ocean floor to investigate the wreckage have been conducted,

Most Recent Titan Tragedy

The most recent being the tragic expedition of the Titan submersible, which resulted in the deaths of all five passengers due to a catastrophic implosion.

Here is where the Titanic sank.

The Titanic’s inaugural and final voyage departed Southampton, England, bound for New York City. Approximately 370 miles (600 kilometers) southeast of Newfoundland, Canada, the ship sank. The approximate coordinates of the submersion are 41.73°N latitude and 49.95°W longitude. Titanic remnants discovered close to the Titanic Pieces of the submersible Titan were recovered in the vicinity of the Titanic. A remotely operated vehicle discovered the tail cone of the OceanGate vessel approximately 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic. The ROV discovered additional debris consistent with “the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber,” according to the United States Coast Guard.
