The wreckage has not been located until 1986 due to poor communication alerts in 1912. For decades, divers and explorers had been searching thirteen kilometres off course. In 1985, Robert Ballad, who was working for the US Navy at that time, was given funding in substitution for locating two sunken submarines. In September 1985, he used the fund to locate the Titanic; he followed a trail of debris and finally located the famous ship.
