At last, in 1985, the Titanic was found.


Scientists travelled down to the
wreck in a mini-submarine. They took
photos of the hull. This helped them
to work out what had happened. The
iceberg had made a huge hole in the
side of the ship. The double layers of
the hull could not keep the water out!

Today, the wreck of the Titanic still


lies beneath the sea.
