Titanic wreck site
The Titanic wreck site is the location of the famous ocean liner that sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. It lies about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the North Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Discovered in 1985, the site has yielded valuable insights into early 20th-century maritime practices, luxury travel, and the ship's tragic story. The wreck is deteriorating due to deep-sea bacteria and pressure, but it remains a significant archaeological and historical site, drawing ongoing study and exploration to better understand both the ship and the factors leading to its sinking.
