In 1996, treasure hunter Brock Lovett and his team explore the wreck of the RMS Titanic searching for a necklace set with a valuable blue diamond called the Heart of the Ocean. They discover a drawing of a young woman reclining nude, wearing the Heart of the Ocean, dated the day the Titanic sank. News of this drawing on television attracts the interest of the woman in question, Rose Dawson Calvert, now 100, who informs Lovett that she is the nude woman in the drawing. She and her granddaughter Lizzy visit Lovett on his ship, and she recalls her memories as 17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater aboard the Titanic. In 1912, young Rose boards the departing ship with the upper-class passengers, her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, and her fiancé, Caledon Hockley. Also on board is Margaret "Molly" Brown (based on a real person), who makes the acquaintance of Rose's party.
Titanic is an Academy Award winning 1997 dramatic film released by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox. The bulk of the plot is set aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic during her maiden voyage in 1912. The movie won 11 Academy Awards on March 23, 1998 including best picture of 1997. As of 2006, Titanic has the highest box office take in movie history (unadjusted for inflation; adjusted for inflation it is #3 all-time). The 1997 film should not be confused with the Titanic movie made in 1953, nor a made-for-television film of the same title that was telecast in 1996.

From May 30 – June 9, 2004, Dr. Robert Ballard and his scientific team returned to the wreck of the RMS Titanic, 12,500 feet beneath the surface of the North Atlantic Sea. The team used remote operated vehicles (ROVs) to produce an updated site map and collect thousands of detailed photographs. These images will form a “photo mosaic” to help researchers investigate how Titanic has changed in the 20 years since its discovery.
In 1994, a United States Federal Court declared RMS Titanic, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Salvor-in-Possession of the Titanic. Thirteen years later, the Company remains Salvor-in-Possession and as such is the only company permitted by law to recover objects from the wreck site. The Company has conducted seven research and recovery expeditions and has recovered approximately 5,500 objects.
