A full 3D scan of Titanic will result in the ability to explore Titanic without visiting the wreck itself according to a report at Earth.com. The project by Magellan and Atlantic productions has collected 715,000 deep-sea images of the wreck in striking clarity. The scan will allow researchers to really look at Titanic in a whole different way. Using all the data about Titanic from blueprints and other things, the 3D replica can be used to watch exactly what happened as the ship collided with the iceberg and see in detail about its sinking.
Quite remarkable technology. It will allow people who attend exhibitions to experience Titanic in a whole new way.

The sinking of the Greek passenger steamer Himara near South Evia on January 19, 1947, claimed at least 383 lives and has gone down in history as the “Greek Titanic.” Previously named Hertha, the vessel was handed over to Greece from Germany following WWII as part of war reparations.

Sienra, Regina. “Titanic Museum Exhibit Invites Visitors to Feel How Cold the Water Was When the Ship Sank.” My Modern Met. Last modified January 1, 2026. https://mymodernmet.com/titanic-museum-water-cold-exhibit/.
On top of injuries from the wreck, the frigid temperature of the northern Atlantic Ocean resulted in many losing their lives to hypothermia. According to the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, the water was 28°F—just below freezing, but kept liquid by the high concentrations of sea salt. To illustrate this fact, the Titanic Museum installed an exhibit that allows visitors to put their hands inside a container with 28ºF water. Multiple videos capture visitors trying their best, but giving up just a few seconds later. Those who held a little longer reported feeling a burning sensation on their hands.
