32. A Discovery of Titanic Multitudes
On September 2, 1985, a team of divers located the wreck of the Titanic, one of the most famous ships of all time. The wreck was 12,000 feet underwater off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, in the Atlantic. Ballard estimated in 2004 that 8,000 to 9,000 pieces of jewelry, porcelain, glasses and other relics had been removed by a legal salvage operation. The location of the Titanic is no longer a secret, and Ballard said submarines have bumped into it and landed on it, destroying its mainmast and damaging large areas of the deck.
