Dr. Robert Ballard, an American oceanographer, discovered the Titanic on September 1, 1985
The ship was found nearly 2 miles below the ocean’s surface, with the bow nearly 2,000 feet from the ship’s stern
The discovery of the Titanic was actually a cover for a top-secret Cold War mission
The mission was to locate the wreckage of two nuclear submarines, the USS Thresher and the USS Scorpion, which had sunk in the 1960s
The discovery of the Titanic was a byproduct of the search for the submarines
The discovery of the Titanic was made possible by the use of a new type of underwater camera called the Argo-Jason system
The Argo-Jason system was developed by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The discovery of the Titanic was kept secret for several days until the team could confirm that they had found the ship
