Underwater real ocean floor wreck titanic.

The rms titanic was visited by divers for the first time in 14 years and the ship that was once a picture of luxury was found in the process of being swallowed up by the ocean floor and ravaged. The wreck sleeps in darkness a puzzlement of corroded steel strewn across a thousand acres of the north atlantic seabed. Photos were taken during submarine explorations of the site and the release of some of those photos suggest. The titanic sank on april 15 1912 after it hit an iceberg during its maiden voyage from england to new york the accident killed 1 517 people.

In 1985 a joint american french expedition tracked down one of the biggest prizes in maritime archeology. Newly released photos show the haunting images of titanic victim s clothing lining the bottom of the ocean floor 100 years after the new york bound ship sank in the north atlantic. Seventy three years after it sank to the north atlantic ocean floor a joint u s french expedition locates the wreck of the rms titanic the sunken liner was about 400 miles east of newfoundland. While the assumption is that decades in the ocean would have led to total disintegration the discovery of the wreck of the titanic in 1985 also prompted a debate over whether there could be human remains embedded in the wreckage two and a half miles below the surface of the atlantic.

An excerpt from the magazine s article reads. The steam liner sank to a depth of more than 12 000.
