Scientists were able to create the most accurate map is still the scene. Some have made about 130 000 photographs and records sound waves. Typically, the tomb of the famous cruise ship is in absolute darkness.
Detail of the boiler
The pictures were taken in 2010 with two remote-controlled submarines. "Titanic" and the seabed filmed and measured using sound waves. Particular attention was paid to a pile of rubble. Oceanographers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US state of Massachusetts and the American Weather Service NOAA provided support to researchers. Now TV «History Channel» will present the results public.

At the bottom are also five large steam boilers, sunroof, a revolving door, a piece of the ship's hull weighing 49 tons and other items, which, obviously, sank to the bottom impact. Now, computer simulations, which are made on the basis of photographs must show the exact course of events during this historical disaster. They may be obtained new data on the defects in the construction of this huge ship, which was considered a miracle of technology.
