New Titanic footage shows the wreck in highest quality to date.

The Titanic, which was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, sank on 15 April 1912 after hitting an iceberg.

The wreck is located at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean - around 400 nautical miles from Newfoundland, Canada.

Oceangate Expeditions headed to the world's most iconic shipwreck and were able to capture the very first 8K video of the Titanic. They shared the footage on Youtube.

In a social media post, they said: "The crew of the 2022 Titanic Expedition succeeded in capturing unprecedented 8k footage of the #Titanic exposing an astonishing level of detail and colours."

Oceangate Expeditions earlier said: "The stern of the #Titanic is one of the most mysterious features of the wreck because it is rarely explored, but our Mission Specialists were able to see things no one had seen for 110 years. "

According to Sky News, veteran Titanic diver at OceanGate Rory Golden explained: "One of the most amazing clips shows one of the single-ended boilers that fell to the ocean's floor when the Titanic broke into two...

"Notably, it was one of the single-ended boilers that was first spotted when the wreck of the Titanic was identified back in 1985."

The name of the ship's anchor maker, Noah Hingley & Sons, can be seen on the portside anchor.

"It is exciting that, after so many years, we may have discovered a new detail that wasn't as obvious with previous generations of camera technologies," Rory is reported to have added.
