Unprecedented digital scan of Titanic wreck reveals never-before-seen details.

TL;DR Summary
The first full-sized digital scan of the Titanic wreck has been carried out, providing a unique 3D view of the entire vessel that could reveal fresh clues about how she sank on her maiden voyage in 1912. The scans also preserve a "digital twin" of the ship, which is rapidly being destroyed by iron-eating bacteria, salt corrosion and deep ocean currents. The images could provide new forensic evidence that could prompt a rewrite of how the sinking unfolded, according to Titanic analyst Parks Stephenson.
