12,100 feet is 2.2916667 miles
12,800 feet is 2.4242424 miles

The depth of the Titanic is about 12,500 feet or 2.3674242 miles.

Hi-tech images of the Titanic

The first complete views of the legendary wreck: As the starboard profile shows, the Titanic buckled as it plowed nose-first into the seabed, leaving the forward hull buried deep in mud-obscuring, possibly forever, the mortal wounds inflicted by the iceberg


The first complete views of the legendary wreck: Titanic's battered stern is captured overhead here. Making sense of this tangle of metal presents endless challenges to experts. Says one, "If you're going to interpret this stuff, you gotta love Picasso".

Maybe it’s just an artifact of the sonar, but the wreck looks like it has fishing nets snagged on it.
