Protection status
Location generalised as a precaution
The position shown is generalised to within about 10 km. The exact position is not published.
Built in 1912; the year of loss is not recorded, so its age and status cannot be verified.
How this was decided: Voydar's protection rules, from the sources we hold, confidence 50%. When in doubt, Voydar generalises the position.
The wreck of the British ocean liner, RMS Titanic, lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (2,100 fathoms; 3,800 metres), about 325 nautical miles (370 miles; 600 kilometres) south-southeast off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. It lies in two main pieces about 2,000 feet (600 m) apart. The bow is still recognisable with many preserved interiors, despite deterioration and damage sustained by hitting the sea floor; in contrast, the stern is heavily damaged. The debris field around the wreck contains hundreds of thousands of items spilled from the ship as she sank. The Titanic sank on 15 April 1912, after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage. Numerous expeditions unsuccessfully tried using sonar to map the seabed in the hope of finding the wreckage.
