Damn, this is cool.

More pics in the BBC article

quote:

The first full-sized digital scan of the Titanic, which lies 3,800m (12,500ft) down in the Atlantic, has been created using deep-sea mapping.

It provides a unique 3D view of the entire ship, enabling it to be seen as if the water has been drained away.

The hope is that this will shed new light on exactly what happened to the liner, which sank in 1912.

The new scan captures the wreck in its entirety, revealing a complete view of the Titanic. It lies in two parts, with the bow and the stern separated by about 800m (2,600ft). A huge debris field surrounds the broken vessel.

The scan was carried out in summer 2022 by Magellan Ltd, a deep-sea mapping company, and Atlantic Productions, who are making a documentary about the project.

Submersibles, remotely controlled by a team on board a specialist ship, spent more than 200 hours surveying the length and breadth of the wreck.

They took more than 700,000 images from every angle, creating an exact 3D reconstruction.

Inb4 the ship was purposely sunk to allow the creation of the Federal Reserve.

probably not now but when it was first discovered and they were getting initial footage I'd say almost certainly there were, based on what I've seen of WWII sunken ships being found with bodies remaining in them

It’s amazing how small that boat looks on the bottom of the ocean.

Very Cool! Never was interested in the movie because I knew what was going to happen and didn't want to wait 3+ hours for it.

Most likely not. At that depth, the water pressure would turn their bodies to jelly. Even inside the ship. When the Titanic was going down, any air pockets it had imploded due to the pressure so essentially that’s what would happen to the human body.

It’s a big reason the stern of the ship is in such bad shape. It went down with way more air inside of it than the bow so as it went down, all those air pockets imploded and tore it apart
