The high-resolution images, published by the BBC today, reconstruct the wreck that lies at a depth of nearly 4,000 metres in great detail.
THE FIRST FULL-SIZED 3D scan of the Titanic shipwreck may reveal more details about the ocean liner’s fateful journey across the Atlantic more than a century ago.
The reconstruction was carried out in 2022 by deep-sea mapping company Magellan Ltd and Atlantic Productions, who are making a documentary about the project. Magellan’s Gerhard Seiffert, who led the planning for the expedition, told the BBC they were not allowed to touch anything “so as not to damage the wreck”.
The new scans may shed more light on what exactly happened to the liner with historians and scientists racing against time as the ships is disintegrating.
