The passenger liner sank into the Atlantic during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, with about 1,500 people dying in the disaster.
The digital twin was created by deepwater specialists Magellan using more than 715,000 images and full 4k video footage of the wreck, which were taken using two submersibles - named Romeo and Juliet.
The submersibles mapped every millimetre of the wreck - which split into two parts as it sank - in minute detail. They also mapped a three-mile debris field surrounding the wreck. Previous optical images of the ship have been limited by the low light levels and the often poor water quality around the wreckage.Magellan's Gerhard Seiffert, who led the planning for the expedition, said the company's digital twin provides a"highly accurate photorealistic 3D model" of the wreck.
"This model will allow people to zoom out and to look at the entire thing for the first time," he said. "So, by capturing this 3D model, what we're able to do is visualize the wreck in a completely new way, there's all kinds of amazing small little details that you can see.

Haddock, a Staple Atlantic Fish, Is in Decline Off New England, Regulators SayFederal fishing managers say a staple seafood species caught by East Coast fishers for centuries is overfished. They’re cutting fishing quotas for Gulf of Maine haddock by around 80% to prevent a collapse of the population. Haddock are one of the most popular fish species in the U.S., particularly for New England seafood dishes like fish and chips. A recent scientific assessment finds Gulf of Maine haddock stock declined unexpectedly. They were added to an overfishing list last month. American fishers say the study was flawed. And they fear losing out on haddock revenues especially because other species, such as cod, have declined. Consumers are still likely to find plenty of haddock because most of it is imported.
