A full-sized digital scan of the Titanic has revealed further insight into the doomed ship’s final moments and confirmed eyewitness accounts that engineers worked until the end to keep the lights on.

The 3D replica was created using underwater robots that travelled 3,800m down to the ocean bed of the Atlantic, with more than 700,000 images taken to create a “digital twin” of the wreckage.
