I remember when the movie came out it was amazing to “travel” through the robotic eyes to the wreckage.  We watched in awe and some are still bitter with Rose for not letting Jack on the door.  Now we get another more in-depth look at the Titanic deep in the Atlantic with “Titanic The Digital Resurrection”

Titanic: The Digital Resurrection

 

I don’t think I would be up for a trip on the replica but I will gladly explore from the comfort of home.

Today is “Titanic Remembrance Day”
British luxury ocean liner RMS Titanic sank on this date in 1912, at 2:27am off the coast of Newfoundland.
New details revealed in this latest production and a new 3D scan, confirm some of the eyewitness stories passed down through the past century to be true.

a valve on the deck of the stern was discovered in the open position, which indicates that steam was still powering the ship’s electrical system.
These findings support eyewitness accounts that ship engineers were shoveling coal into the ship’s furnaces in order to keep the lights on for as long as possible as passengers escaped.

 

The Titanic sunk on April 15, 1912 after hitting an iceberg on the evening of April 14th.  Some 1500 lives were lost.  We now get a new closer view of the most well-known shipwreck of all time.

The 3D model was mapped using underwater robots and is composed of about 700,000 images of the wreckage taken from every angle. And while what’s left of the Titanic currently lies at the bottom of the ocean at approximately 12,500 ft. below sea level, the new 3D model will enable analysts to study the wreckage for generations to come — even as the real ship decays over time.
