Titanic Submersible Tragedy

We're all aware of the ill-fated RMS Titanic ship which was the largest liner at the time back in 1912.

The mammoth ship could house more than 2,400 passengers along with more than 800 staff and crew members. During its first-ever voyage from England to the United States, the Titanic hit an iceberg in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic Ocean leading to catastrophic deaths. Reportedly only 712 members of the Titanic survived the wreckage which led to the ship being split into two pieces.

The wreckage wasn't discovered until decades later in 1985 in Canadian waters. Titanic's wreck lies 700 km south of St John's Newfoundland. It was back in 1997 when visionary filmmaker James Cameron brought mainstream interest to Titanic and its wreckage with his blockbuster romantic tragedy film featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Cameron himself has been to the wreckage himself around 33 times and calls it "one of the most unforgiving places on earth".
