A group of experts recently visited the Titanic’s crash site in the North Atlantic and took three-dimensional pictures, marking the first time such detailed images have been captured. Combining sonar and picture data, these high-resolution photos offer an unprecedented look at the renowned ship, which sank over a century ago.
“Scientists stress that this is the first time they have ever captured such a detailed image of an item located far below the surface of the ocean,” showcasing the advancement in underwater exploration technology. These photos were presented in a Virginian court during proceedings involving the RMS Corporation, the exclusive owner of the rights to investigate the Titanic.
The search has yielded around six thousand objects from the ocean floor, with an estimated worth exceeding a million pounds. Despite this, the search costs are significantly higher due to the challenging conditions. The ocean floor, 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, is difficult to access due to strong underwater currents and frequent storms.
These developments mark a significant milestone in maritime archaeology, providing new insights into one of history’s most famous shipwrecks.
