Finding Titanic

Near midnight on April 12, 1912 the R.M.S. Titanic hit an iceberg in the middle of the ocean. A little more than 2 hours later it sank.

When this gigantic liner set out on its first vogage no one thought it would also be its last.

There were three classes: First Class, Second Class, and Steerage. During the disaster the first two classes were put into the best seats in the lifeboat. About 700 people survived the sinking.

About 70 years after the Titanic sank, Dr. Robert Ballad found the Titanic about 12,000 feet underwater.
