Unprecedented Full-Size Scans Reveal Titanic Wreck in New Light

TL;DR
The first-ever full-size 3D reconstruction of the Titanic has been created from more than 700,000 scans of the wreckage captured last summer by Atlantic Productions and deep-sea mapping company Magellan Ltd. The stunning images reveal incredible new details about the doomed cruise liner, including statues, unopened Champagne bottles, and shoes lying on the floor of the ocean. The scans could offer new insight into how the Titanic hit the iceberg as it sailed 370 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The disaster has fascinated the world for more than a century, but much is still unknown about the specifics of the sinking.
