New 3D Scan of Titanic Wreckage Reveals Key Details About Infamous Ship’s Tragic Final Hours
9th April 2025
A 3D digital scan of the Titanic wreckage has given a new insight into the luxury liner’s tragic final hours. More than 1,500 passengers and crew died after the ‘unsinkable’ ship crashed into an iceberg and plunged to the Atlantic Ocean seabed in 1912.
Many of those that survived the disaster told of how the Titanic split in two before sinking – but their testimonies were dismissed for decades, largely thanks to claims from White Star Line employees that it wasn’t possible. It was only when the wreckage was discovered in 1985 that the survivors were proved right.
Next step: Ground-penetrating radar to reconstruct the parts that are now buried in silt.
