The Wreck Took 73 Years to Find
Since the wreckage of Titanic was so deep in the ocean, it took a long time to find it. This difficulty was compounded by the fact that inaccurate coordinates of its location were provided before it sank, so scientists, historians, and divers were looking for it for decades. It was finally found, in 1985, by Robert Ballard, to great notoriety.
