Today is the anniversary of the discovery of the RMS Titanic wreckage. On September 1, 1985, the wreck of the RMS Titanic was located about 600 km south-southeast of Newfoundland under 3,800 meters of ocean. A French-American expedition team spearheaded by Jean Louis Michel and Robert Ballard discovered the key to finding the Titanic was a remote-controlled machine called Argo.
The wreckage has two main parts about 600 meters apart. The stern has deteriorated but is still recognizable. The ship's midsection broke and scattered across the seabed. The debris plane is littered with personal belongings of passengers, furniture, and machinery from the ship. The bow remains relatively intact.
Before this discovery, numerous attempts were made to locate the famous wreck. Though located, attempts to bring it to the surface have been unsuccessful due to the advanced fragility of the remains.
