The Google Maps images show how, unfortunately, the liner came very close to its destination of New York City.

Despite not being visible to the naked eye, the strength of the Google Maps cameras have managed to locate it.

The wreckage of the largest moving object ever built at that time lies 12,000 ft below the surface of the sea.

Those not familiar with the historical disaster initially were made aware by the Hollywood blockbuster, Titanic, starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet which was released in 1998.

It remains the world’s second highest grossing film of all time.

Meanwhile, theorists have claimed to pinpoint the lost city of Atlantis on Google Maps.

Atlantis is a strong naval power, a counterweight to the land-based ancient city of Athens.

The underwater state is said to be submerged in the Atlantic Ocean, the exact place where Google’s latest images were taken.

This dramatic fall of the empire is said to have happened in 6,000BC after its residents failed to conquer Greek city, Athens.

Yet, as it is a fictional creation by philosopher Plato, the scenes instead could be explained by something a little more ordinary.

Website bt.com reports the deep lines were, in fact, “a tech glitch caused by data gathering techniques, which involve tracking the path of boats.”
