|May 19, 2023
The first full-sized 3D scan of the Titanic shipwreck published on Wednesday may reveal more details about the ocean liner's fateful journey across the Atlantic more than a century ago.
-
The high-resolution images, published by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), reconstruct the wreck that lies at a depth of nearly 4,000m in great detail and were created using deep-sea mapping.
The luxury passenger liner sank after colliding with an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York in April 1912, leaving more than 1,500 dead.
The shipwreck has been explored extensively since it was first discovered in 1985 about 650km off the coast of Canada, but cameras were never able to capture the ship in its entirety.
