3D Reconstruction Sheds New Light On Titanic's Final Moments

For the first time, a complete and realistic 3D reconstruction of the Titanic has been released, based on detailed ocean floor scans and thousands of images, offering new insights into the final moments of the legendary ship.

This unprecedented project, in collaboration with National Geographic and marine data experts, has provided a full 3D digital model of the Titanic, based on thousands of scanned images and data from the ship's wreck site in the Atlantic Ocean.

The digital version was created using underwater robots that descended to depths of 3,800 meters, capturing over 700,000 images of the wreckage, revealing unique details about the ship's remaining structure.

The Titanic, owned by the British White Star Line, was on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City when it collided with an iceberg near Newfoundland on April 15, 1912, sinking the ship and leading to over 1,500 deaths.

Despite claims of the Titanic being“unsinkable,” the iceberg collision ruptured six watertight compartments, causing rapid flooding and a gradual tilt that ultimately led to the ship's sinking, resulting in the loss of more than 1,500 lives.

Experts believe this 3D model could provide valuable insights into the technical causes of the Titanic's sinking, the damage to its hull, and the positions of its components on the ocean floor. This project also paves the way for further digital documentation of sunken historical sites.

The Titanic disaster remains one of the most tragic maritime events in history, with over 1,500 lives lost. For more than a century, numerous efforts have been made to uncover and reconstruct the fate of this iconic ship. This new digital reconstruction represents the most detailed and accurate depiction of the Titanic to date.

This new digital model will not only deepen our understanding of the Titanic's sinking but also contribute to the preservation and documentation of underwater historical sites for future generations.
