Titanic: full-sized digital scans reveal new details of wrecked passenger liner

Scientists have created full-sized digital scans of the Titanic, revealing intricate new details about the ill-fated passenger liner that sank more than two miles below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean in April 1912.

Deep-sea mapping company Magellan Ltd and Atlantic Productions carried out the digital scans last summer. 

The scans provide a unique 3D view of the entire ship, enabling it to be seen as if the water had been drained away, Magellan said in a press release. 

A team on board a specialist ship remotely controlled submersibles, spending more than 200 hours surveying the wreckage. The team took more than 700,000 images from every angle, creating a 3D replica of the Titanic.
