In 1978, The Walt Disney Company and National Geographic magazine considered mounting a joint expedition to find the Titanic, using the aluminium submersible Aluminaut. The Titanic would have been well within the submersible's depth limits, but the plans were abandoned for financial reasons. [13] MacInnis said that in the event the submersible is located deep within the ocean, any recovery will be “incredibly costly”. a b c Schultz, Fred L. (October 1996).

When they eventually hit the ocean floor, it is believed that they hit at different angles, which forced them even farther apart.

A large V-shaped section of the ship just aft of midships, running from the keel upwards through Number 1 Boiler Room and upwards to cover the area under funnel numbers three and four, was believed to have disintegrated entirely when the ship broke up. This was one of the weakest parts of the ship as a result of the presence of two large open spaces– the forward end of the engine room and the aft First Class passenger staircase. The rest of this part of the ship is scattered across the seabed at distances of 130 to 260 feet (40 to 80m) from the main part of the stern. [100]
