Most famously, Alvin was involved in the exploration of the wreckage of RMS Titanic in 1985. Launched from her support ship R/V Knorr it carried Dr.Robert Ballard and two companions to the wreckage of the great sealiner. RMS Titanic sank while attempting to transit the North Atlantic Ocean, after striking a large iceberg in 1912.

That paragraph is all wrong. Alvin did not explore the Titanic in 1985, it was 1986. And the Knorr was not the ship in the '86 mission. The Atlantis II was.

Fixed it, no need to have an obvious and easily corrected error in the article.
