Daily Echo: Titanic and Southampton

Asleep on the Ocean Bed

The wreck of the Titanic lies at a depth of two and a half miles, about 370 miles from Forgotten Point in Newfoundland.

She split apart, probably a short distance under the surface, before falling to the seabed.

Now explorers, tourists, fimmakers and salvagers are constant visitors. Thousands of items are brought ashore from the field of debris and put on display. 100 years ago, RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton..

Now memories of the ship, her passengers and crew remain in our hearts…..as they lie asleep on the ocean bed.
