This detailed digital replica, composed of over 700,000 images, reveals critical information about the ship's final moments, including evidence that engineers worked tirelessly to keep the lights on until the end.

Captain Edward John Smith's final moments are also a focal point, with survivors recalling his calm demeanor and his last command urging passengers to evacuate.

Witnesses noted Smith's bravery as he assisted women and children into lifeboats, with his last reported command being 'Be British'.

As the wreck deteriorates rapidly, projections suggest it may vanish within the next 40 years, emphasizing the urgency of ongoing research.

Despite these new findings, researchers like Parks Stephenson emphasize that the Titanic still holds many secrets, and further exploration is essential to fully understand its story.

The heroic efforts of these engineers allowed for the safe launching of lifeboats in the chaos following the iceberg collision, ultimately saving many lives.

Advanced simulations indicate that the Titanic sustained multiple small perforations in its hull, each roughly the size of an A4 sheet, which collectively allowed water to flood several compartments, leading to the disaster.

A groundbreaking 3D scan of the Titanic, created using underwater robots that descended 3,800 meters to the ocean floor, has provided new insights into the ship's tragic sinking.

Among the new findings from the scan is a previously unreported porthole likely smashed by the iceberg, corroborating survivor accounts of ice entering passenger cabins during the collision.

These small holes, rather than a single large breach, contributed significantly to the sinking, as the ship was designed to stay afloat with only four compartments flooded.

The 3D model illustrates the violent breakup of the ship and confirms eyewitness reports of engineers maintaining power until the end, highlighting their sacrifice.

This project, featured in the upcoming National Geographic documentary 'Titanic: The Digital Resurrection', marks the first comprehensive mapping of the entire wreck.
