The wreck of the RMS Titanic is lying approximately 3,800 metres (2.4 mi)[1] at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, almost precisely under the location where she sank on April 15th, 1912.

The ship broke in two pieces, which came to rest 590 metres (approx. 650 yards) separated. The bow section, which had already flooded when it started to descend, simply dove to the bottom and suffered some damage on impact, but it survived the crash extraordinary well.

The stern section, however, was still partially unflooded when the descent started, and the increasing water pressure caused lots of internal collapses, making the stern disintegrate during the spiral dive to the bottom. The hard impact even increased the already serious damage at the breakup surface of the stern, and it became one giant pile of destruction. Unfairly, this might be the reason why the stern section is often completely omitted when talking about the wreck of the Titanic despite being where the human part of the vessel's story came to its violent conclusion.
