2007 kilometers, or 1247 miles. source
Of course that is to the place where it sunk, so if you want to go to the actual Titanic, you must add some meters extra.

It’s actually northeast of NYC, near the Grand Banks. They were steaming on a Great Circle Route, which on a flat map curves northward and then back south near the destination.
