A team of scientists is on a mission to provide 3D maps and models of the wreckage of the Titanic before it disappears. The nearly 100 year old shipwreck is falling apart. To preserve the famous ship as it is the Waitt Institute is using side-sensing autonomous underwater vehicles to map the Titanic.
Oceanographers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution join the expedition along with Waitt Institute and RMS Titanic, Inc. to create the most comprehensive map of the site to date.
The Titanic sank in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg in 1912. The wreck was discovered on September 1, 1985.
