1. Story
2. In the early hours, after weeks of towing cameras along the seabed in search of the debris trail rather than the hull, Argo returned an image of a ship's boiler. The wreck lay at about 3,800 m, some 13 nautical miles from the position Titanic had transmitted — and in two major sections around 600 m apart, confirming the survivors' account of a ship that broke in two and overturning the 1912 finding.

66. Evidence
67. The wreck was located on 1 September 1985 by the towed imaging sled Argo; the hull lay in two major sections roughly 600 m apart with an intervening debris field, at approximately 3,800 m depth.
68. Describes the wreck as lying in international waters roughly 370 nautical miles south-southeast of Newfoundland at about 3,800 m, with separated bow and stern sections and an extensive debris field, and as a site warranting treatment as a maritime memorial.
