Historians believe that a new underwater scanning project may provide answers to some of the lingering questions regarding the mysterious 1912 sinking of the Titanic, which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people
Historians now believe that a new underwater scanning project may provide answers to some of the unanswered questions regarding the tragedy that killed more than 1,500 people. A team of scientists have used deep sea mapping to create “an exact ‘Digital Twin’ of the Titanic wreck for the first time,” according to a press release Wednesday from deep sea investigators Magellan and filmmakers Atlantic Productions.
Parks Stephenson, an expert who has been studying the Titanic for 20 years, hailed the project as a “gamechanger” which has managed to unearth “details never seen before.” “We’ve got actual data that engineers can take to examine the true mechanics behind the breakup and the sinking and thereby get even closer to the true story of the Titanic disaster,” Stephenson remarked. One such example can be found on the propeller where the serial number can be seen for the first time in decades.
