When the wreck was found, it finally confirmed reports that the ship had, in fact, broken in two. This was a long disputed issue.
There were at least 15 witnesses who swore on the record that they had seen the Titanic break into two pieces before completely sinking beneath the waves. But they were ignored — the official US inquiry stated that the ship sank intact.
How the Titanic sank was disputed for 73 years until it was finally found on the ocean floor, broken in two.
