The Titanic sank in 1912, when it collided with an iceberg during its maiden voyage. Numerous expeditions unsuccessfully tried using sonar to map the sea bed in the hope of finding it. In 1985, the wreck was finally located by a joint French–American expedition led by Jean-Louis Michel of IFREMER and Robert Ballard of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The wreck has been the focus of intense interest and has been visited by numerous expeditions. Controversial salvage operations have recovered thousands of items, which have been conserved and put on public display.

For those wondering about my health, I'm an expat living in the UK with the days off to watch the conclusion:

A telling statistics perhaps is that the aggregate ratings from The Guardian (UK), were 72 to Australian players, 75 to England. Yet the narrative has largely been that Stokes dragged a workmanlike (11-2 of their matches since he took over) side to a competitive match against a side of stars. If their players had a marginal performance edge, at home, it doesn't make sense that the Aussies lead by a buffoon could have won. There must have been some tactical edge that overall in fact went to the Australian team.

I'm not for a second suggesting Cummins was flawless this test. But neither was Stokes. The side with the "best" three batsman had none of them contribute much, yet they prevailed away from home. Perhaps the leadership by and large was okay.

Almost immediately after the Titanic sank on 15 April 1912, proposals were advanced to salvage it from its resting place in the North Atlantic Ocean, despite her exact location and condition being unknown. The families of several wealthy victims of the disaster – the Guggenheims, Astors, and Wideners – formed a consortium and contracted the Merritt and Chapman Derrick and Wrecking Company to raise the Titanic. The project was soon abandoned as impractical as the divers could not even reach a significant fraction of the necessary depth, where the pressure is over 6,000 pounds per square inch (40 megapascals). The lack of submarine technology at the time as well as the outbreak of World War I also put off such a project.
