Detailed 3D scans show Titanic's final moments
Of all the mysteries that lie on the mostly-undiscovered ocean floor, the remains of the RMS Titanic are among the most fascinating.
Since the Titanic's sinking in 1912 and subsequent discovery of her wreckage in 1985, the ship has become a ghostly memorial to the lives lost 112 years ago.
Take a look at some of the best photos of the RMS Titanic wreckage here.
Detailed scans released by Atlantic Studios have provided new insight into the Titanic's final moments.
The 3D replica, captured by geotechnical company Magellan, shows the wreckage of the ship sitting on the ocean floor.
It displays how the cruise liner was ripped in half after it was struck by an iceberg in 1912.
15,000 people were killed in the disaster.

Eyewitness accounts said engineers worked until the very end to keep the ship's lights on.
The scans also show A4 paper-sized punctures in the ship's hull, which led to the ship's demise.
The scan has been studied for a new documentary by National Geographic and Atlantic Productions called Titanic: The Digital Resurrection.
Footage released of the Titanic's damaged wreckage in September 2023 revealed how the sunken ship deteriorated over the past 112 years.
Video and imagery from underwater cameras during expeditions run by RMS Titanic, Inc showed the loss of a 15-ft section of railing from the portside.

After 112 years on the ocean floor, the wreckage of the RMS Titanic is starting to fall apart.
RMS Titanic Inc, which runs research and recovery expeditions to the wreckage in the North Atlantic Ocean, provided an update on the ghostly remains of the ship.
It revealed a 15-ft section of port side railing had broken off the main ship wreckage and fallen to the floor.
"From films to literature, Titanic's looming hull has become a staple in the story and imagery of the great liner," a statement on RMS Titanic, Inc's official Facebook page. read.
"For decades, the bow was a testament to the resilience of her strength and pride.
"The drastic change in the celebrated image is a reminder that Titanic is deteriorating, advancing our resolve to preserve her legacy."
Previous expeditions have found other parts of Titanic are collapsing due to the passage of time.
Explorer Victor Vescovo led dives in 2019 which revealed the starboard side of the officer's quarters were also falling apart.
Plenty of art that was taken on the Titanic remains buried on the ocean floor, waiting to be rediscovered.

Diana of Versailles is a 2ft bronze statue based on the original sculpture on display at the Louvre.
"She watched over passengers for five days before being ripped from her mantle and lost to the ocean," RMS Titanic, Inc said.
"Following 112 years on the ocean floor and a brief sighting in 1986, she is still resting upright among miles of debris. Like the eternal Roman deities, she is timeless-- and she is re-discovered thanks to Expedition 2024."
