History recovered from 12,500 feet below sea level
The Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg, resulting in the loss of over 1,500 lives. Since then, the lore of the wreck has grown to nearly an unmatched pop culture status, with tales from the survivors fueling a curiosity that was eventually met with technological advancements in submersibles and underwater tracking.
Titanic’s wreckage was first explored in 1987, a beginning point that would escalate the following decades and include astonishing discoveries of artifacts from that tragic day.
