An expedition probing the North Atlantic for the Titanic attempted Saturday to focus television cameras on debris researchers believe may be the luxury liner sunk on its maiden voyage 68 years ago.

Sonar signals reflected off the sea floor showed an object "the right length, right width, and right height of the Titanic" some 12,000 feet down in a submarine canyon, about 400 miles southeast of Newfoundland. But additional surveying is needed to determine whether the wreckage is the 882-foot vessel.
