A new scan of the Titanic shipwreck made with more than 715,000 images has revealed the world's most famous shipwreck as we've never seen it before.
The first ever full-scale digital scan of the Titanic has revealed the world's most famous shipwreck in"astonishing," never-before-seen detail.
After being struck by an iceberg just four days into its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City in April 1912, the ship plunged to its current resting place 12,500 feet below the surface in the North Atlantic, roughly 370 nautical miles south of Newfoundland, Canada. Of the ship's 2,240 passengers and crew, more than 1,500 people died following the catastrophic crash.
Researchers created the unprecedented scan by stitching together more than 715,000 sonar images of the wreck with 4K video footage, taken during more than 200 hours of surveying with two submersibles named"Romeo" and"Juliet."
