The Titanic left Southampton, UK on its Maiden Voyage to New York, but sunk three days later on 14 April 1912 in the mid-Atlantic after striking an Iceberg. There was something like 4000 passangers and crew on board, of which 2800 (mostly crew and third-class passengers) died by drowning or freezing in the water. The film "Titanic" is based on the ship in the days leading up to and the night of the sinking and is a love story about a couple from different classes who meet and fall in love, but loose each other only a matter of days later when he saves her and perishes in the icey water. So, the film is not true, but the sinking of the ship and the way in which the different classes were treated are. The ship now lies at the bottom of the ocean and is so deep that they have special subarines to go down and film and explore. They could take parts of the ship, however its been so long and so deep, that the objects would be at risk of being destroyed as soon as they reached the surface.

At 53,000 tonnes and 269 m long, Titanic was the biggest passenger ship of her day. Titanic was on her Atlantic voyage when she sank in 1912, two hours after hitting an iceberg. It is thought that 1,517 lives were lost and only 700 people survived. The film Titanic is about the sinking of the Titanic on her Atlantic voyage.

The Titanic was an "unsinkable" cruise ship, which hit an iceberg, and sank in the Atlantic Ocean, taking many lives with it. It is documented in books, movies, and by some survivers.
The most recent film starred Leonardo DiCapria and Kate Winslet, and was a huge success, as a love story.
Google "Titianic" and you will be deluged with the specifics.

Since we're talking Titanic movies here, besides the James Cameron whopper (1997) , there's TITANIC with Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck (1953), A NIGHT TO REMEMBER (1958, still the best IMHO), and the German language TITANIC (1943, available on DVD). A traveling exhibit on the Titanic hit a number of major US cities (I saw it in Houston) a couple of years ago, with memorabilia from the ship.

Yup, the Titanic sunk in real life and at least two films.
They are not going to remove parts of the ship. The ship has been designated a memorial for all those who died. Individual loose objects have been removed and most have gone to museums. A few have been sold to pay expenses.

Leonardo DiCaprio is the lead actor in "titanic", with Kate winslet, his Co-star. Leo has been in many other films ever since, and got many awards for his amazingly wonderful performance of a lower class citizen in love with an upper class girl in "titanic", based on the real tragedy in the early 1900's.

Yes in 1912.
41°43′55″N
49°56′45″W
They have already sold things like coal that the ship was carrying to fund the research and exploration.
Its breaking up very quickly indeed and due to the depth and conditions of her surroundings it makes any large scale recovery of even part of her structure virtually impossible. There is a crew working on it hence the coal that you can buy to fund them but I'm stoned an I forgot the name. LOL.
Add. when I say crew I mean ROV's an there operators, even hard suit diving isn't a real option at those depths.

How long have you been on this planet? It sank in April 1912, yes, it SANK within two hours of hitting the ice berg. The California was the closest to them but didn't heed the distress flares, the Carpathia did hear the news and rushed to aid but they were four hours out and only managed to pick up a few survivors.
