Titanic Reveals Its Secrets


This is the world’s most famous shipwreck as it’s never been seen before. The first full-sized digital


scan of the Titanic, which lies 12,500 feet down in the Atlantic, was created using deep-sea, 3-D mapping, allowing it to be seen as if


the water has been drained away.


The hope is that this will


shed new light on exactly what happened to the liner, which sank in 1912, killing 1,517 of the 2,224 people on board.


Magellan Ltd., a U.K.-based


specialist in deep-water mapping, sent submersibles to survey the entire wreck, which lies about 350 nautical miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. It used more than


715,000 images and full 4K video footage of the wreck to create the scans. Two submersibles mapped every millimeter of the ship, as


well as a three-mile debris field surrounding it. Parks Stephenson, who


has studied the Titanic for 20 years, said it was a “true game-changer.” “What we are seeing for


the first time is an accurate and true depiction of the entire wreck and debris site.”


Among the discoveries


from the stunningly high- quality images: a gold necklace made from the tooth of a Megalodon, an extinct species of shark. Fans of the 1997 movie


Titanic may remember the fictionalized story involves a beautiful necklace known


as the Heart of the Ocean. While the artifact found is not the same necklace, which was created for the film, the discovery of the Megalodon tooth necklace is poignant. Richard Parkinson, CEO of Magellan, described it as “astonishing, beautiful, and breathtaking.” Footage of passengers


boarding the ship will be analyzed using artificial intelligence technology, including facial recognition, and the clothes that they were wearing, in an eff ort to identify the owner of the necklace.
