    The wreck was located on September 1, 1985 by a joint American-French expedition led by Jean-Louis Michel and Dr. Robert Ballard of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. It was found at a depth of 3,800 meters, at 41°43'55"N 49°56'45"W, near Newfoundland. The ship was found to have broken in two large pieces, which lie on the bottom of the ocean a few hundred meters apart, separated by a debris field.

    Rumor has it that a soviet attack sub that was mapping the ocean floor for military purposes back in the late 60's. They marked the sonar return as "most likely a large shipwreck".

    I read this years ago on a long gone website dealing with "cold war secrets".

    The wreck of the Titanic was first discovered September 1st, 1985 by Robert Ballard. He first used sonar to find places to look. Then he took an unmanned submersible to look in the area. Following he first laid eyes on on of Titanic's massive Boilers, he knew he had hit the mother load when he saw the unmistakable boiler. He then precoded to go forward until he came across the bow!!! He and his team started to laugh and celebrate until they realized that they were dancing an 1500 people grave. The mission he discovered it on was actual secret mission that know one knew about1
