Why the Discovery of Titanic's Wreakage Became a Secret

An intelligence mission's  accidental discovery...

Titanic's sinking was front page news in 1912.

The RMS Titanic was billed as "unsinkable," Eric Milzarski reports on businessinsider.com.

Many reasons have been proposed as to why, but nonetheless, they were proven wrong.  When the Titanic sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic, she took with her over 1,500 of her 2,224 estimated passengers and crew, Milzarski wrote.

Countless expeditions were sent to go salvage the wreckage, but it wasn't until 1985 when it was "suddenly" located, Milzarski noted.

As it turns out, finding Titantic was a complete accident, Milazarski wrote.
