Unprecedented Full-Sized 3D Scan of Titanic Wreck Reveals Never-Before-Seen Details

The first full-sized 3D scan of the Titanic shipwreck has been created using deep-sea mapping data gathered by two submersibles during a six-week expedition to the North Atlantic wreck site in summer 2022. The high-resolution images reconstruct the wreck in great detail and may reveal more about the ship's fateful journey across the Atlantic more than a century ago. The study was conducted without interfering with the wreck, and the team held a flower-laying ceremony in memory of the dead. The new scans may shed more light on what exactly happened to the liner, and historians and scientists are racing against time as the ship is disintegrating.
