A deepwater surveying company recently discovered a necklace made from gold and a prehistoric shark's tooth in the wreckage of the RMS Titanic, which sank in 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland, according to news reports.
The Guernsey-based company Magellan discovered the rare jewelry made with a Megalodon tooth after producing a full-sized digital scan of the British luxury liner, which had an estimated 2,200 people on board when it hit an iceberg and sank.
Believed to be the largest underwater scanning project to date, the company used two submarines to produce 700,000 images of the wreckage and then turned them into a moving scan.
Unfortunately, the precious object will have to stay where it remains due to an agreement between the U.K. and U.S., which prevents the public from removing artifacts from the wreck and surrounding bed, according to news reports.
However, this isn’t the end of the story. Magellan will use artificial intelligence to try and contact family members of the passenger who once wore the necklace. Artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology will analyze footage of passengers boarding the Titanic.
