The most famous shipwreck in the world, the Titanic, lies more than 12,000 feet down in the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Since the discovery of the wreck in 1985, there have been numerous expeditions to the site, but until now, no one has ever recorded the full extent of what really remains on this remote area of seabed.
Now, see her like you’ve never seen her before.
Over a century on from this tragic loss, we are able to reveal the overall wreck site by virtually draining the Titanic. Spectacular new visualization techniques will depict this “draining” process and offer viewers a ringside view for the emergence of the wreck from the waves — seen in full for the first time since April 15, 1912.

Virtual flybys enable us to explore the wreck site and tackle some long-standing mysteries.
New science is painting a clearer picture of how the Titanic actually sank, and new theories are now emerging on how and when she actually broke apart, how she reached the seabed, and what has happened to the wreck in the course of a century underwater.
With this information, not only do scientists have a phenomenal resource for tracking the status of the wreck, but it also means we can look into the future and see the eventual fate of the ship thought to be unsinkable. (NatGeo)
