Resting at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) beneath the surface, lies the fragmented remains of the Titanic. The wreckage of this iconic ocean liner, which famously struck an iceberg during its inaugural voyage from Southampton to New York City, now rests off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
In its solitary resting place, undisturbed for over 70 years, the Titanic's remnants were eventually discovered by the US Navy in 1985. The location of the Titanic is approximately 350 nautical miles off the coast of Newfoundland, surrounded by the depths of the ocean floor. To put its depth into perspective, the wreckage resides at a depth nearly 2.4 miles below sea level, a profound distance that surpasses the world's deepest scuba dive by more than 11 times.
The Titanic rests at a staggering depth of approximately 12,500 feet below sea level, providing a perspective that highlights the immense scale of its underwater location. To put it into context, the deepest scuba dive ever recorded in 2022 reached a mere 1,090 feet, while even the towering Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, would fall short by roughly 9,700 feet if it were submerged in the ocean and attempted to reach the site of the Titanic wreckage.
