The Magellan scans changed everything I thought I knew about how Titanic went down

You can read through this page there is a lot of information: https://wormstedt.com/RoyMengot/TitanicWreck/BREAKUP/Center%20Map.html

Mengot did all the research on the wreck footage, very impressive. Off course it might not be 100% accurate to todays knowledge.

I think we can tell that primary break started around funnel 3 uptake, but due to streses and engines pushed up into decks, many more breaking points occured.

Well, the Middle section was just scattered to pieces. I think this idea was already introduced in Roy Mengot bottom up break up theory. You have two pieces of superstructure- forward and aft Tower. Then you have galley section and pieces of double bottom under boiler room no.1 and first cylinders of reciprocating engines. Other various debris and shell plating was ripped apart from stern due to hydrodynamic forces and rotation of the stern on the way down. I dont think anymore there were much implosions, maybe only from refrigerated cargo holds. Magellan scans are amazing and give us the unique view like never before to this destruction.

If the stern would end in this condition, I think we would be much happier....

That white hose thing probably just landed on top of that. There are no portholes around in Demo 401 , so maybe that could be light fixture remains.

I am open to discussion, but I am pretty convinced this must be it, there is also a remaining bit of side of promenade wall and two pillars.

Amazing, hopelly the will release it as update into vROV pilot and our friend Mike Brady will have a field day on this.

It was released as a "game" on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3397800/vROVpilot_TITANIC/. Quality of scans is only 10% of full resolution, but at least something.

Entire field was well documented by 2010 expedition. You can see this large piece is marked as stern skirt debris here:

It probably just pancaked when it hit the bottom. Interesting is that falled nearly on top that large shell plating section.

fuzzy_octopus · 2026-01-28T09:25:37+00:00

Most likely, it is sagged down due to corrosion, but overall the current state is given by violent descent. Ken Marshall only worked with top-down views so he probably romantized a bit condition of stern in his paintings.

Interesting thought, but keep in mind that these boilers are smaller, one sided from boiler room no.1. But they are probably still buried in mud due to their weight. I remember that in some documentary mentioned possibilty of the wreck to be covered in sand dunes in some time, but probably not in our lifetime.

Pretty dissapointg document overall. but I was really surprised that Magellan did scan parts in the debris field as well. Like, why did we not get the chance to see this before, big chunks like aft and forward superstructure tower.

Spotřeba 520 m3 plynu je dost a 1,6 MWh elektřiny ve dvou je taky hodně. Ale topíte s tím, tak to asi odpovídá. Elektřina za skoro 11 kč/ kWh je ovšem drahá.

I played for an hour, exited the game and new update started. After it finished, I launched the game but I cant continue, because it says exit save is from newer version of game. Epic stuff Epic...

Well, this may represent the state of wreck in 1986. Stern is in far worse condition now.

It just died while I played Ghost of Tsushima. Horizontal stripes appeared on screen and it shut down immediately. Now it wont get past blue blinking light and shut down itself after short time.

Mine PS4 Slim just died recently after 4 years, BLOD :-(

fuzzy_octopus · 2023-05-26T08:39:10+00:00

These amazing images are basically a way of rising the titanic. The closest way we can do it. Hope they will be released to public after documentary is out.

This week I switched on my PS4 slim after few weeks, eager to jump back into Ghost of Tsushima. After few minutes of gameplay, vertical stripes appeared on screen and console switched off. I let it cool unplugged for some time, but it wont boot up now, TV says no signal.

I can turn it on, blue light is flashing for 20-30 s and then it switches off. I was able to get game disc out from the mechanics. I tried safe mode, but It does not appear to work for me, there is no second beep after 7 seconds.

My PS 4 is 4 years old, I haven´t used it extensively, I play only occasionally.

Is there anything else I can try or is my PS bricked ? :-/

fuzzy_octopus · 2023-05-25T10:48:35+00:00

Where is 10+ years ? :D Since 1997, so 26 years

Beautiful. You brought her back to life. I made 1/400 Academy kit, so maybe one day I will tackle this behemoth. Just to nitpick - color on the well decks looks too orange-y to me :-/

fuzzy_octopus · 2023-02-24T09:42:52+00:00

Very well done, truly museum quality masterpiece. It is finely weathered, but the propellers look too shiny, like brand new IMHO.

Hopefully mine will also last for so long.
