On this day in history, the wreck on the Titanic was found. The wreck of the Titanic was finally found on the 1st of September 1985. The wreck of the Titanic was found by a joint American and French expedition of oceanographers. The 1st of September 1985 was a Sunday. The team of oceanographers were the first group of people to have seen the Titanic for almost 100 years after its ill-fated voyage. The Titanic was found that day 73 years after its sinking. The team found the Titanic to be eroding, which isn't that surprising, as the Titanic had then been on the Atlantic Ocean sea floor for over seven decades by this point. Earlier this year, it was also reported that further erosion was taking place on the Titanic. A Ship Broke In Two Halves
