Uchanganuzi wa kwanza wa kidijitali wa ukubwa kamili wa Meli ya Titanic, ambao uko mita 3,800 (futi 12,500) chini ya Bahari ya Atlantic, umeundwa kwa kutumia ramani ya kina kirefu cha bahari.
Inatoa mwonekano wa kipekee wa 3D wa meli nzima, na kuiwezesha kuonekana huku ikiweka Matumaini kwa Wachunguzi na kutoa mwanga mpya kuhusu kile kilichotokea wakati Meli hiyo inazama mwaka 1912.
===================
More than 1,500 people died when the ship struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York.
"There are still questions, basic questions, that need to be answered about the ship," Parks Stephenson, a Titanic analyst, told BBC News.
He said the model was "one of the first major steps to driving the Titanic story towards evidence-based research - and not speculation."
The Titanic has been extensively explored since the wreck was discovered in 1985. But it's so huge that in the gloom of the deep, cameras can only ever show us tantalizing snapshots of the decaying ship - never the whole thing.
The new scan captures the wreck in its entirety, revealing a complete view of the Titanic. It lies in two parts, with the bow and the stern separated by about 800m (2,600ft). A huge debris field surrounds the broken vessel.
The scan was carried out in summer 2022 by Magellan Ltd, a deep-sea mapping company, and Atlantic Productions, who are making a documentary about the project.
Submersibles, remotely controlled by a team on board a specialist ship, spent more than 200 hours surveying the length and breadth of the wreck.
They took more than 700,000 images from every angle, creating an exact 3D reconstruction.
