You will want to read up on Robert Ballard. He is the person who discovered the wreckage in 1985. He has written many books including books for teens/kids on the subject.
His latest is Return To The Titanic as he went back down a few years ago. You should be able to get that at any bookstore. I'm not a fan of James Cameron's Titanic film from 1997. Yes, it won best picture but it's not an accurate representation of what it was like that night. It's more about fictional characters and romance not history in my opinion.
What you are really going to want to see is A Night To Remember (1958) which is historically accurate and tragic. It's a cinematic classic. be aware there's a 1943 film by the same title but it's not about the Titanic. It's based on a book by Walter Lord which you can also purchase at any bookstore or order.
In 1898 a writer named Morgan Robertson wrote a book called" Futility" which was later renamed "Wreck Of The Titan" in it a ship that was supposedly unsinkable and exactly like the real Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. We both know what happened a few years in 1912. You might want to read that one too.
