When the RMS Titanic descended to its watery North Atlantic grave on that tragic and fateful day of April 15, 1912, many thought the story of the supposedly "unsinkable" ship had come to end. Though many had searched the ocean floor to find trace of the ill-fated liner's wreckage to no avail in the decades that followed, it wasn't until 1985 that Dr. Robert Ballard brought one of history's most affecting tragedies back into the light of day.
