Latitude: 41° 46' North
Longitude: 50° 14' West
Was Titanic's last reported position when it sank.
In 2008 I was on QE2 homeward bound from New York on the final world cruise. We stopped right over TITANIC on the 96th Anniversary, there was a Service on deck, wreaths were thrown overboard and the US Ice patrol plane flew over and dropped wreaths.
An experience to be there on the day. The nearest Iceberg was 25 miles away.
Cheers
Brian.

Titanic
Anybody gone into the fine tuning on the reported position given by the Titanic and the actual position when found. As no GPS and such like in those days, and believe it was dark when she went down, her final position would of either been at noon or maybe evening stars. Therefore her position givng out would of either been a DR or EP. Was wondering if anyone had worked out how accurate they were. Regards John Sabourn
