The legendary Titanic has been unearthed like never before — with the first-ever full-size 3D reconstruction revealing incredible new details about the doomed cruise liner 111 years after its infamous sinking.
The stunning images were created from more than 700,000 scans of the wreckage that were captured last summer by Atlantic Productions and deep-sea mapping company Magellan Ltd. The 3D reconstruction was created from more than 700,000 scans of the shipwreck captured last summer by Atlantic Productions and deep-sea mapping company Magellan Ltd.“It allows you to see the wreck as you can never see it from a submersible,” Parks Stephenson, a Titanic analyst, told BBC News of the reconstruction.Some of the incredible scans show statues, unopened Champagne bottles and shoes lying on the floor of the ocean.
Magellan Ltd.’s Gerhard Seiffert planned the painstaking expedition to capture the 700,000 scans of the Titanic, which lies submerged more than 4,000 meters below the Atlantic Ocean. “The depth of it, almost 4000m, represents a challenge, and you have currents at the site, too — and we’re not allowed to touch anything so as not to damage the wreck,” Seiffert stated.
