It is mainly found in the relatively shallow water from south of Greenland, along side the North East coast of North America (Canada) to a few hundred miles south of Newfoundland. There at the edge of the Continental shelf, it meets the Gulf stream travelling north. The Labrador current has been known to go as far south as Bermuda and as far east as the Azores, but, that is usually not the case.
The sea of icebergs came from the Greenland Glaciers, and it was carried there by the Labrador Current. So, very likely the Titanic was in the middle of the Labrador Current, and the water temperatures that faithful night was also due to that current.

what is the importance of labrador current
The Labrador current (which is found in relatively shallow water), starts south of Greenland and moves along side the North East edge of North America (Canada) until it meets the Gulf Current, a few hundred miles south of Newfoundland (the edge of the Contintinental shelf). Sometimes the Labrador current goes as far south as Bermuda or as far east as the Azores.
