Gerhard Seiffert, from the company, who led the plans for the project, told BBC News: "The depth of it, almost 4000m, represents a challenge, and you have currents at the site, too - and we're not allowed to touch anything so as not to damage the wreck. It was 73 years before its final resting place was even discovered. We don't even know if she hit it along the starboard side, as is shown in all the movies - she might have grounded on the iceberg." But the simple picture, taken more than a century. "We really don't understand the character of the collision with the iceberg. CNN The grainy black-and-white photograph shows a pointy iceberg in the middle of a calm sea, with puffy clouds barely visible in the sky. And what it's showing you now is the true state of the wreck. Its location was a mystery for much of the 20th century until it was discovered in 1985 at a depth of 12,500 feet roughly 380 miles southeast of Newfoundland. "It allows you to see the wreck as you can never see it from a submersible, and you can see the wreck in its entirety, you can see it in context and perspective.

Parks Stephenson, who has extensively studied the ship, says there is evidence to suggest that the vessel did not hit an iceberg along its side, as the multiple Oscar-winning 1997 film suggests, with the first full-size 3D scan of the ship's wreckage being created, reports the Mirror. ![]() The boat famously sank in the Atlantic Ocean more than a century ago - and now new digital scans have been released that may reveal more information about the infamous crash. It riveted the world more than a century ago, yet photographs depicting the iceberg that may. An expert on the Titanic claims that new 3D images may prove that the vessel did not hit an iceberg. The ship sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, after striking an iceberg. ![]()
