First 8K Footage of the Titanic Shows Decaying Wreck in Unprecedented Detail
As the heavily chronicled Titanic decays on the ocean floor, new technology can better capture that rate of decay thanks to 8K video capabilities.
OceanGate Expeditions released 8K footage of the Titanic wreck on YouTube for the first time, unveiling a new level of detail and color of arguably the most famous shipwreck in history. “The amazing detail in the 8K footage will help our team of scientists and maritime archaeologists characterize the decay of the Titanic more precisely as we capture new footage in 2023 and beyond,” Stockton Rush, OceanGate Expeditions president, says in a news release. “Capturing this 8K footage will allow us to zoom in and still have 4K quality.”
