Following the tragic sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912, efforts were made to recover the wreckage and the bodies of the victims. However, due to limited diving technology at the time, these attempts were unsuccessful for over seven decades.
It wasn't until September 1, 1985, that the wreckage of the Titanic was finally discovered. The discovery was made during a joint exploration by an American oceanographer and Navy officer, along with a French oceanographer. Interestingly, the dive that led to the Titanic's discovery was initially a secret mission to locate two nuclear submarines, the USS Scorpion and the USS Thresher.
