Design of the Queen Mary 2
The ship is 345.03m long and has a beam of 45m at the bridge wings. Its draught is ten metres and the height from keel to the funnel is 72m. The Gross Registered Tonnage is 151,400t.
https://titanicfacts.net/where-did-the-titanic-sink/
The Titanic sank 400 miles (640 kilometres) off the coast of Newfoundland. The wreck lies at a great depth, approximately 2.4 miles (3.75 kilometres, or 12,600 feet) below the surface of the North Atlantic. The ship broke in two as she sank, and the stern and bow of the wreck now lie 1,970 feet apart.

Ignoring any potential parallax error.
128 pixels to water from tip of funnel.
72m is keel to funnel so -10m for the draught =62 m

Or that that point then on that image that is only 2650m or so metres to the sea bed (5480 pixels away).

Image is in fact too short. Not to mention "and the stern and bow of the wreck now lie 1,970 feet apart." where that looks pretty intact. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/cruises/articles/50-facts-about-the-qe2/ reckons the Titanic was only 882ft too so it is not even a cheeky measurement.
 
Is it really accurate?
I usually find I come to the end of the pie and there then needs to be another pie.

Also that does not account for pie ending up in my beard and/or moustache.
