Today, the Titanic remains deep beneath the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean. To be more exact, it is resting at a depth of roughly 12,500 feet or 3,800 meters below the surface. Given that the average depth of the Atlantic Ocean is approximately 12,100 feet, the Titanic sits at a particularly deep location. For perspective, this is approximately the equivalent of a 1,155-story building. Currently, the world’s tallest building is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, UAE, and it rises to a height equivalent to 163 stories. RMS Titanic Maritime Memorial of Preservation Act of 2007" (PDF).

Sadly, this doomed expedition resulted in the loss of five lives. Final Words
