The Titanic was lost at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean for 73 years. For decades, the exact location of the wreckage remained unknown, fueling the mystery surrounding the famous shipwreck.
The situation changed on September 1, 1985, when a team led by Robert Ballard managed to find the first signs of the ship on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.
The discovery of the Titanic's wreckage occurred exactly 41 years ago, ending more than seven decades of uncertainty about the whereabouts of the ship.
Ballard and his team located the wreckage at a great depth in the North Atlantic, revealing the state of preservation of the ship that sank in 1912.
