The RMS Titanic, otherwise known as the famous "unsinkable" ship met its fate in the early morning of April 15, 1912, when it struck an iceberg. Today, the luxury steamship lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet in the North Atlantic Ocean, decaying and deteriorating over the past century making it almost unrecognizable. The Titanic has fascinated people for years; it is undoubtedly the world's most loved shipwreck and easily the most famous.
The RMS Titanic has been sitting on the sea floor, 370 miles south-southeast off the coast of Newfoundland for 106 years now. During the ship's final moments, it broke apart in two and the wreckage was found in two distinct pieces, the stern, "fragmented virtually beyond recognition," and the bow of the ship, "remarkably intact," reports Encyclopedia Titanica. If you ever search for photos of the Titanic, you'll find numerous showing the bow (the forward part of the ship) still recognizable, even to this day.
