It is one of the most famous disasters the world has ever known and even inspired an Oscar-winning film. But never before has the Titanic disaster been seen in such extraordinary detail as these new images show. Researchers have pieced together what is believed to be the first comprehensive map of the entire 3-by-5-mile Titanic debris field. They hope it will provide new clues about what exactly happened on that fateful night 100 years ago when the superliner hit an iceberg and plunged to the bottom of the North Atlantic, killing more than 1,500 people.
An expedition team used sonar imaging and more than 100,000 photos taken from underwater robots to create the map, which shows where hundreds of objects and pieces of the presumed-unsinkable vessel landed.
