First full-sized 3D scan of the Titanic shipwreck captured
Al JazeeraThe high-resolution images reconstruct the 1912 wreck, revealing more about the ship’s fateful journey across the Atlantic. The wreck of the ill-fated Titanic ocean liner has been visualised in full for the first time as part of what researchers say is the “largest underwater scanning project in history”. The first full-sized 3D scan of the Titanic shipwreck, published on Wednesday, may reveal more details about the ship’s fateful journey across the Atlantic more than a century ago. The model was created with data using deep-sea mapping gathered by two submersibles – named Romeo and Juliet – during a six-week expedition to the North Atlantic wreck site in summer 2022. “Now we are finally getting to see Titanic without human interpretation, derived directly from evidence and data,” Parks Stephenson, who has studied the Titanic for many years, told the BBC.
