Compare the
"topside" of the Titanic then and now.
 |
This "birds-eye"
view of a Titanic model allows you to see in intricate detail her lifeboats, stacks and
skylights. This is how she looked when launched. |
 |
This "photomosaic"
of the wreck contrasts remarkably from her original condition. This photo is actually a
compilation of over 3,000 individual photographs that have been reconstructed to give us
this extraordinary view...one that is impossible to see from one vantage point. |
The photomosaic was obtained
using the "mowing the lawn" imaging technique, where a remote camera is
continuously run over the bow section in a lengthwise pattern, snapping pictures
continuously. These images are then downloaded, studied, and hand recompiled on a
computer. It is estimated that it takes one
and a half person work years to
recompile the photographic data into the picture you see. |
