New 3D scans reveal Titanic's true size and offer insight into its sinking.
A comparison image on Twitter showing the Titanic sailing in front of a modern-day cruise ship has gone viral, revealing the true size difference between the two vessels. The Titanic was significantly smaller than the largest cruise ships today, such as Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas, due to make its maiden voyage in 2024. The comparison was described as "wild", "insane", "scary" and "amazing". The first complete digital scan of the Titanic was also unveiled this week, providing an all-encompassing view of the ship and its complete state.
