It was found at a depth of 2.5 miles (4.02 km), slightly more than 370 miles (595.46 km) south-east of Mistaken Point, Newfoundland , 13 miles (20.92 km) from fourth officer Joseph Boxhall’s last position reading where Titanic was originally thought to rest. The bow section had struck the ocean floor at a position just under the forepeak, and embedded itself 60 feet (18 m) into the silt on the ocean floor. Although parts of the hull had buckled, the bow was mostly intact. The collision with the ocean floor forced water out of Titanic through the hull below the well deck. One of the steel covers (reportedly weighing approximately ten tons) was blown off the side of the hull. The bow is still under tension, in particular the heavily damaged and partially collapsed decks. The stern section was in much worse condition, and appeared to have been torn apart during its descent.
