Details of the the map will be revealed in a forthcoming television documentary, which also promises a 'jaw-dropping' account of what exactly happened on that fateful night 100 years ago.

 

With the 100-year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic approaching, researchers have announced completion of a new detailed map of the ship’s entire debris field.

The research team hopes it will provide further information about the fateful night in April 1912 when the ocean liner sank after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. More than 1,500 people died in the incident — an incident that has since inspired countless movies and novels.
