In 1973, the ALVIN (a manned deep- ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy) had to go through structure changes to withstand the depth necessary to reach the Titanic which was around 13,000 feet. The researchers did not have much to go on in terms of a location for the ship itself. A documented distress signal placed the Titanic at 41*46’N,…
