As the starboard profile shows, the Titanic buckled as it ploughed nose-first into the seabed, leaving the forward hull buried deep in mud—obscuring, possibly forever, the mortal wounds inflicted by the iceberg. (© 2012 RMS TITANIC, INC; Produced by AIVL, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute)
The optical mosaics each consist of 1,500 high-resolution images rectified using sonar data. (© 2012 RMS TITANIC, INC; Produced by AIVL, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute)
