It was crucial that we retained accuracy for this work, so we worked from real-life floor plans as well as information released during the public trial. Our work was informed by information decoded from the ship’s black box, which had been corrupt and un-useable until recently, allowing us to understand timelines and locations of key events.

To give geographical context, we also made a series of 2D maps to show the liner’s location in relation to the land, in the style of a ship’s radar, aligning the visuals in a thematically compelling way.
