The ship dug out the sediment as it hit the seafloor

The Danton was carrying over 1,000 men at the time

Sonar imagery can be used to construct 3D models of the wreck

“The Danton, with many of its gun turrets still intact, is sitting upright in over 1,000m of water.”

Since it was a French battleship likely the guns were also never fired.

Cool. Of course, the Danton was a perfect example of why France was in trouble. It was a pre-Dreadnought design, launched in 1909, when the British and Germans were already on their second generation Dreadnoughts.
