Titanic: The Digital Resurrection

Matt Roush says...

The wreck of the R.M.S. Titanic, which sunk in the North Atlantic 113 years ago this month, has been studied in nearly every way imaginable. But never before have observers had a tool as startling and illuminating as the mammoth “digital twin” simulation created by a deep-sea mapping company, which spent three weeks mapping the wreck 12,500 feet below the surface, producing data including 715,000 still images that resulted in a full-scale model of the doomed ship. A 90-minute documentary studies the simulation, with experts and historians finding new clues in the wreckage to explain more about the Titanic’s last moments.
