Locating The Wreck
     Robert Mallard, working with French efforts, used state-of-the-art technology to locate the Titanic wreck.  The search teams used the newly redesigned Argo, SAR, and Angus to search the ocean floor.  It took him and his team over 12 weeks of constant, 24 hours a day, searching before they began to find remains of the ship.  This section describes in in-depth details the painstaking process of locating the famous wreck.
   
Exploring The Wreck
     Robert and his crew were the first members to explore the sunken Titanic.  They Alvin and JJ to maneuver throughout the ship, while taking many video and still image shots.  For the first time the explorers began to realize the severity of titanic sinking.  While they examined the stern, bow, and debris field they began to piece together the events that lead to Titanic current position.  After Robert's exploration many more teams followed, and much more was learned. 
  
Putting The Pieces Together
     After many teams dived down to the wreck they had the long task of figuring out what really happened.  A myriad of trained professionals worked on many teams to slowly, but accurately, piece the events of Titanic's unfortunate fate back together.  As they examined the pictures and video from the dives, they noticed many interesting facts that helped explain why the Tianic sank the way it did.
