MORE than a century after it sank, the Titanic continues to captivate people – and new high-tech images show the famous shipwreck like it’s never been seen before.
The 3D images offer a clear view of the entire vessel, which lies broken in two parts at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, some 4 000 metres underwater.
