The Titanic was shown in 8K - the real one that sank in 1912

Deep-sea exploration company OceanGate Expeditions has released 8K footage of the Titanic at its bottom for the first time. This is the first video with such a high level of detail.

During the 8-day mission, the research team studied and documented the current state of the liner using two submersibles, high-definition cameras, 3D sonar and a team of experts.

The footage captures a number of important features of the ship, including her prow, port anchor, huge anchor chain, and sturdy bronze spiers.

The "unsinkable" ocean liner sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. At least 1,500 passengers died, and the wreckage sank at a depth of about 4,000 meters, 740 kilometers from Newfoundland (Canada).

The wreckage of the ship was first discovered only in 1985, after 73 years. Since then, fewer people have visited the Titanic wreck than in space. Today OceanGate Expeditions offers tours to the liner, allowing you to literally touch the history.

However, the days of this story may be numbered. During the expeditions of recent years, scientists have found that the ship is rapidly destroyed by rust, sea salt, bacteria and other forces of nature. Since its discovery 37 years ago, the forward mast and aft deck have collapsed, disappeared crow's nestAn observation post located high on the foremast of a ship in the form of a barrel. and the gym at the front staircase collapsed. There are fears that the bow of the ship could be next.
