Wiki doesn't provide any extra info on this monkey unfortunately:
... a monkey called Titan, which was trained to point at a spot on the map to supposedly indicate where the Titanic was. The scientists issued an ultimatum: "It's either us or the monkey."
What does being trained to point at a spot on the map mean? couldnt anyone point to a spot on the map? and if its trained to do that, does that imply the trainer knows where Titanic was?

Reply to TIL that when Jack Grimm tried to find the Titanic in 1980, he planned to take a monkey called Titan that was trained to point to the wreck on a map. The monkey was left behind when scientists objected. Grimm never found the wreck, despite his sonar traveling right over it. by Bortron86
