It was September 1, 1985, when oceanographers Jean-Louis Michel and Robert Ballard discovered the wreck of the RMS Titanic, lying nearly 12,500 feet beneath the surface of the North Atlantic, just off the coast of Newfoundland. The once-grand ship, hailed as the largest and most "unsinkable" ocean liner of its time, had become a haunting time capsule resting on the ocean floor. The tragedy of its sinking, after striking an iceberg on its maiden voyage in 1912, has captivated the world for over a century.

The story of the Titanic has remained a powerful and emotional touchstone, especially since the release of the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie, based on real accounts, brought to life the human stories behind the disaster of love, hope, and unimaginable loss.
