who discovered the titanic

The Titanic was discovered on September 1, 1985, by American oceanographer Robert Ballard. Ballard, along with a team, used advanced underwater technology including a deep-sea underwater robot called Argo to locate the ship's wreck over two miles beneath the North Atlantic. This discovery ended decades of mystery surrounding the Titanic's resting place since it sank in 1912. The discovery was part of a joint French-American expedition, with Ballard leading the U.S. side from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The expedition found the Titanic about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
