WASHINGTON – On the 113th anniversary of the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic, National Geographic is set to unveil what it calls an unprecedented look at history’s most infamous maritime disaster.
Using cutting-edge underwater scanning technology, the documentary offers a stunning digital model of the Titanic, accurate down to every rivet.
In 2022, filmmaker Anthony Geffen and deep-sea mapping company Magellan completed a detailed 3D scanning project, which took nearly two years to analyze.
According to National Geographic, the investigation challenges long-held assumptions about the events following the Titanic’s collision with an iceberg.
The luxurious ship struck an iceberg less than 400 miles south of Canada about 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912, and sank within three hours of the collision.
