Quick Scoop

  • The Titanic’s wreck sits on the seabed at roughly 12,500 feet (≈3,800 meters) below sea level in the North Atlantic.
  • In kilometers, that’s about 3.8–3.9 km deep, which puts it in the ocean’s dark “midnight zone” where no sunlight reaches.
  • At this depth, pressure exceeds about 5,000 pounds per square inch and water temperatures hover just above freezing, near 1–2°C.
