The remains of the Titanic were found in 1985 by Dr. Robert Ballard, an oceanographer and marine biologist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. When he located the Titanic, he saw that, as some survivors reported, the ship had broken apart. He believed the weight of the water-filled bow raised the stern out of the water and snapped the ship in two just before it sank. Debris falling out of the ship was strewn over a 1/2 mile across the sea floor. The bow and the stern were found nearly 2000ft. apart.
He recorded her coordinates as, stern section sits on ocean floor at 41o43'35" N, 49o56'54" W, boilers at 41o43'32" N, 49o56'49" W, bow at 41o43'57" N, 49o56'49" W.

Yes, the Titanic still lies on the sea floor. It is now considered a grave yard. The ship cannot be brought up to the surface without damaging it.

Most of it, anyway. See previous question on raising the Titantic :

Yes it is, and there are no plans to bring it up. They consider it a sacrilege to disturb it since so many died on it.
