Titanic’s planned path:

The voyage started in 1912.
It took off from Southampton, England, for New York City.
It first made stops in Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown, Ireland, before heading across the Atlantic.
It was supposed to return via Plymouth, England, and Cherbourg — but never made it to New York.
On April 15, 1912 it hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. The massive ship broke into two parts and sank to the bottom of the ocean, killing about 1,500 people.

Where is the Titanic wreckage?

The ship was near Newfoundland, Canada, when it sank. It was just about 400 miles off the coast.
Most of the Titanic wreckage remains about 350 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, according to NOAA.
The wreckage was first located in 1985 by marine explorer Robert Ballard.
The Titanic is sitting on the ocean floor, about 12,500 feet below sea level. The two broken parts of the ship – the bow and the stern — are more than 2,600 feet apart and are surrounded by debris.
