‘She has stories to tell’: digital scan of Titanic wreck could reveal its secrets

‘Digital twin’ of ship created by deep-sea mapping firm may help shed new light on 1912 sinking

The Titanic has been depicted in unprecedented detail in the first full-sized digital scan of the wreck.

The unique 3D view of the entire vessel, seen as if the water has been drained away, could reveal fresh clues about how she came to sink on her maiden voyage in 1912. The scans also preserve a “digital twin” of the ship, which is rapidly being destroyed by iron-eating bacteria, salt corrosion and deep ocean currents.
