The accident happened in the Atlantic Ocean during its maiden voyage, four days after leaving the city of Southampton, England. The ship, which had New York City (USA) as its destination, collided with an iceberg, which damaged six compartments, however she was only able to continue sailing with four compartments fully flooded.

The images are available for anyone who wants to follow the camera at the bottom of the sea, which covers the entire ship. which is located 3,810 meters deep in the North Atlantic, just off the coast of the Earth New.

After the sinking, several expeditions tried unsuccessfully to find the wreckage of the ship, which today is protected by a convention of the UNESCO to prevent the illegal exploitation of objects and an even greater destruction of the wreckage that was only discovered after 74 years at the bottom of the sea.

With the collision, the bow - part of the front of the ship - and the stern - part of the back - broke. Today, they are separated by 800 meters of distance at the bottom of the sea. The stern was completely destroyed. The bow is the most conserved part.
