New Titanic footage shows incredible detail of shipwreck
Unprecedented high-definition footage of the wreckage of the famed ship Titanic has been released for the first time.
The 8k footage shows incredible detail of the bow of the passenger liner, which sank after striking an iceberg in 1912.
The footage shot by Oceangate Expeditions shows the wreckage in enough detail to read the name of the manufacturer on the side of the anchor.

Oceangate Expeditions' veteran Titanic diver Rory Golden touted the new video.
"I've been studying the wreck for decades and have completed multiple dives, and I can't recall seeing any other image showing this level of detail," he said.
"It is exciting that, after so many years, we may have discovered a new detail that wasn't as obvious with previous generations of camera technologies."

The footage will help divers plot the rate of decay of the vessel as it lies at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
The expeditioners are planning another trip to the wreckage site in May next year.
The passenger liner sank on its maiden voyage from Southhampton to New York. More than 1500 people aboard died thanks to a shortage of lifeboats, making it the deadliest sinking of a ship at the time.
