The ship's data is now frozen in time and could be used to research the reason for its sinking.
So, deep sea mapping company Magellan Ltd decided to delve into the depths to gather data that could help solve the mystery, and a production house, Atlantic Productions, decided to make a documentary about it. Last summer, Magellan spent more than 200 hours collecting images of the sunken ship, which were stitched together, and a preview was released recently.since the shipwreck was found in 1985.
The wreck of the ship consists of two parts, the bow, and the stern, which are separated by a distance of 2,600 feet and a huge debris field surrounding the vessel. The debris field includes ornate metalwork, statues that once adorned the ship, and many personal possessions that never reached their final destination. The scans also captured tinier details like the serial number on the propeller of the ship.

First full-size 3D scan of Titanic shows shipwreck in new lightDeep-sea researchers have completed the first full-size digital scan of the Titanic, showing the entire wreck in unprecedented detail and clarity. Using two remote operated submersibles, a team of researchers spent six weeks in the North Atlantic mapping the whole shipwreck and the surrounding 3-mile debris field, where personal belongings of the ocean liner’s passengers such as shoes and watches were scattered. Richard Parkinson, founder and chief executive of deep-sea exploration firm Magellan, estimated that the resulting data is 10 times larger than any underwater 3D model ever attempted before. Researchers have spent months rendering the large amount of data they gathered, and a documentary on the project is expected to come out next year
