3D scanning model of sunken ship

This is a 3D scanned model of a sunken ship. It depicts the wreckage of two wooden vessels in the intertidal zone of Bahrain Hall Creek, near Bahrain, Essex, England. The image is a digital model created by photogrammetry. This technology takes a large number of overlapping photos, and then uses professional software to combine them into a detailed 3D image. The ships are moored in a "ship graveyard," and archaeologists use this 3D modeling technique to document and analyze archaeological sites, especially for objects like shipwrecks that are fragile or difficult to access consistently.
