An expedition surveying the wreck of the Titanic is showing off some crisp images of the world’s most famous shipwreck, but officials said on Sunday they were headed back to shore. The team of scientists have been using a pair of robots to take thousands of photographs and hours of video of the wreck, which lies roughly 4 kilometres below the surface. Scientist are using imaging technology and sonar devices that have never been used before on the Titanic wreck. They are probing nearly a century of sediment in the debris field to seek a full inventory of the ship’s artifacts.
