Why No One Could Find the Titanic for So Long
Finding the Titanic was like searching for a needle in a haystack—at the bottom of the ocean! 🌊 For decades, people knew it sank in the North Atlantic, but the exact spot was a mystery. The problem? The ship broke into pieces as it sank, scattering debris across a massive area. Plus, the wreck was sitting over 12,000 feet deep in the dark, freezing ocean, making it nearly impossible to spot with old technology. It wasn’t until 1985 that scientists used special sonar equipment and underwater cameras to finally locate it. 🛳️ Turns out, the Titanic was hiding in a deep underwater canyon. 🌌 Credit: Dr. Ballard visit 2023: By Titanic Belfast - https://flic.kr/p/2oHmea4, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...
