Wreck located by the Argo camera sled
node
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.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
