The Titanic rests about 2.4 miles under the surface of the Atlantic. The stern and bow rest about 1,970 feet apart. The bow penetrated the floor of the seabed 60 feet and rises 40 feet above the seabed. It took until September 1st of 1985 for the wreckage of the Titanic to be found. It was discovered by an American-French team including Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel. Argo, the remote-controlled deep-sea submersible gave the first images of the ship. The Titanic lay on the seabed alone for 73 years before finally being discovered.
