Coming soon: A 3-D Titanic map! Scientists will launch an expedition to Titanic next month to assess the "deteriorating" condition of the world's most famous shipwreck and create a three-dimensional map for the public. The 20-day expedition to the site, which is two-and-a-half miles beneath the North Atlantic, is billed as the most advanced scientific mission to the wreck since its discovery 25 years ago, the 'Sunday Express' reported. The team will leave St. John's, Newfoundland, on August 18 under a partnership between RMS Titanic which has exclusive salvage rights to the wreck and is funding the project and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. Expedition leader David Gallow said they will explore a three-mile area, still scattered with debris from when the ship sank on April 15 1912, killing 1,522. "For the first time, we're going to treat it as an archaeological site," he said.
