- It shows the RMS Titanic’s wreckage.
In never-before-seen 8K definition, the greatest screen resolution currently accessible, new video has been made public showing the RMS Titanic’s wreckage.
That equates to 8,000 horizontal pixels of resolution, which is twice as sharp as a 4K TV. And it means that this most recent investigation of the 110-year-old shipwreck features an incredible level of color and detail.
The site is located 2.4 miles below the North Atlantic’s surface, about 400 nautical miles from Newfoundland, Canada, and was visited by OceanGate Expeditions in 2022.

In addition to civilian “mission specialists” who pay $250,000 for the privilege of being one of the few people to have ever seen the fabled ship’s final resting place firsthand, OceanGate operates expeditions to the Titanic wreck with crews of submersible dive experts, Titanic historians, and research scientists.
Stockton Rush, president of OceanGate Expeditions, stated in a press release that “the remarkable detail in the 8K footage will assist our team of scientists and maritime archaeologists assess the disintegration of the Titanic more precisely as we acquire additional footage in 2023 and beyond.” Even more amazing, he continued, are “the fantastic hues.”
The Titanic’s bow, which infamously sank first after the British passenger ship struck an iceberg on the night of April 15, 1912, is shown in the first frame of the recently released video.
There are now obvious characteristics of the ship, such as the name of the anchor manufacturer, Noah Hingley & Sons Ltd, on the port side anchor. Rory Golden, Titanic specialist for OceanGate Expeditions and a seasoned Titanic diver, said in the release, “I have been studying the wreck for decades and have conducted several dives, and I can’t recall seeing any other image exhibiting this degree of detail.
Paul Henry Nargeolet, a veteran Nautile submersible pilot and Titanic diver, cited the laser scaling system as the source of the green lights visible on the port side anchor as the camera pans across. “We can precisely gauge an object’s size thanks to this technique […] There are 10 cm between the two green lights.”
The shipwreck’s deck still contains the crane that was used to release the massive 15-ton anchor as well as the now-collapsed shackle that was formerly fastened to the main mast, according to Nargelot.
Three round structures may be seen later in the movie along the inside railing. These are the triple fairleads, according to Nargelot, which formerly supplied the docking ropes to the bollards.
