the Titanic (wreck)

The Titanic wreck is the remains of the RMS Titanic, a luxury passenger ship that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean during its maiden voyage in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. The ship broke apart and settled on the ocean floor about 12,500 feet deep. Discovered in 1985, the wreck provides insight into early 20th-century maritime engineering and has become a poignant historical site. Its study has advanced undersea exploration technology, revealing rusted structures, personal artifacts, and the ship’s massive scale, serving as a reminder of maritime safety lessons and human ambition.
