These images show the Titanic in all its glory and in 3D.

An extraordinary and never seen before vision titanic was obtained by a group of scientists after map in 3D a giant cruise ship that sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean in April 1912, killing more than 1,500 passengers and crew.

The BBC reports that in the summer of 2022, deep-sea cartographers Magellan Limited carried out fieldwork with production company Atlantic Productions, which is making a documentary about the process. Researchers from the two organizations spent six weeks using submersibles to take over 715,000 images of the shipwreck. titanic 3 miles wide, about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. These images were stitched together to create a 3D digital replica of the doomed ship.

“We used two state-of-the-art submersibles called Romeo and Juliet that worked simultaneously to provide a third-person view of the Digital Twining process and to ensure that the object would not be disturbed during the operation,” said a 3D specialist from Magellan, Gerhard Seifert, in a press release. “What we have created is a highly accurate, photorealistic 3D model of the crash. Previously, images only allowed a small part of the crash to be seen at a time. This model will allow people to walk away and look at everything for the first time.”

The model depicts the ship in its entirety, but also shows smaller details such as boilers, unopened champagne bottles and even a serial number on a propeller, BBC reported. This new model could help historians and engineers learn more about the circumstances leading to the ship’s infamous sinking. titanic.

“We have real data that engineers can use to study the true mechanics of rupture and collapse and therefore get even closer to the true story of the disaster. titanic. For the next generation of research, research and analysis of the Titanic, this is the beginning of a new chapter, ”the expert said. titanic Parks Stevenson in a press release.
