First Full 3D Scan of Titanic Reveals New Clues About 1912 Disaster
Atlantic Ocean: Researchers completed the first complete digital mapping of the Titanic wreck, stitching together 700,000 sonar images into a 3D “digital twin.” The scan, conducted by Magellan Ltd. submersibles, shows the entire ship and debris field at the seabed in unprecedented detail. Experts hope it clarifies exactly how the liner sank and helps monitor its ongoing decay.
