The mysterious absence of bodies in Titanic’s wreckage

After decades of speculation and attempts to locate it, an expedition finally succeeded in uncovering its location at the staggering depth.

It may seem strange that it took so long to find the wreck, but the problem wasn’t that its location was completely unknown — it was more about pinpointing its exact resting place.

Deep-sea explorer Robert Ballard spent eight days searching before successfully locating the R.M.S. Titanic, about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. He was able to pinpoint the wreckage using his method of following debris—a technique he had first employed when discovering the Scorpion, a nuclear submarine that sank in 1968.

Ballard has previously spoken about the moment he saw the old ocean liner resting on the ocean floor.
