100 Years Later, Titanic, still Famous, still 2 and a half miles under water!

Fair play to the good folk of Belfast for finally getting their city on the map for all the right reasons. By their re-floating of the dream ship RMS Titanic 100 years after it left the Belfast shipping yard they have caught the attention of the rest of the world!

Last weekend I did a fair bit of reading up on all things Titanic and one of my burning questions to find answers for was, where the bloody hell is it today?

It was Dr Robert Ballard who discovered the wreck in 1985. Because of the planing actions both sections of the wreck underwent during their descent, they now lie 600ft apart. 450 miles out from her final destination of New York.



While I enjoyed my research of the Titanic disaster, I got a belly laugh from this photo that popped up with my Google search!
