After the Titanic sank, searchers recovered 340 bodies. Thus, of the roughly 1,500 people killed in the disaster, about 1,160 bodies remain lost.

The first class tickets ranged enormously in price, from $150 (about $1700 today) for a simple berth, up to $4350 ($50,000) for one of the two Parlour suites. Second class tickets were $60 (around $700) and third class passengers paid between $15 and $40 ($170 – £460).

For the most part, most of the well-known people on board were first-class passengers. Researcher Chuck Anesi crunched the numbers, breaking down the demographics of the survivors. He found that 97.22% of the 144 female first-class passengers were rescued, while only 32.57% of their 175 male counterparts were saved.

Titanic was celebrated as the biggest, safest, most advanced ship of its age, but it was a lowly stoker in its boiler room who truly deserved the name ‘unsinkable’. John Priest survived no fewer than four ships that went to the bottom, including Titanic and its sister ship Britannic.

It turns out that raising the Titanic would be about as futile as rearranging the deck chairs on the doomed vessel. After several trips back to the drawing board, it turns out that raising the Titanic would be about as futile as rearranging the deck chairs on the doomed vessel.

Because they had been hired by an outside contractor, White Star deemed them passengers rather than employees, which meant their dependants were not entitled to workmen’s compensation. White Star agreed to pay $665,000 — about $430 for each life lost on the Titanic.

Five days after the passenger ship the Titanic sank, the crew of the rescue ship Mackay-Bennett pulled the body of a fair-haired, roughly 2-year-old boy out of the Atlantic Ocean on April 21, 1912.

This is a myth in the case of the Titanic, although in 1917 the White Star liner Laurentic was sunk off the coast of Northern Ireland carrying 35 tons of gold ingots. The most valuable items aboard the Titanic were the 37 personal effects of the first class passengers, many of which were lost in the sinking. …

A satchel of jewels found among the wreckage of Titanic during a salvage and recovery expedition near Newfoundland in 1985 might have been his. A blue sapphire ring mounted in a setting surrounded by 14 diamonds, and a gold locket were just two pieces found among the wreckage.

He said wrecks older than the Titanic have contained remnants of crew or passengers. Eight sailors’ remains were discovered on the H.L. Hunley, a Confederate submarine that sank in 1864. And human bones were found at a first-century B.C. freighter wreck near the Greek island of Antikythera.

Old Rose does not say if she had a baby with Jack. Even if she did conceive the one time that they had sex, the ensuing trauma of the sinking may have ended any chance of a pregnancy being carried to term. And please keep in mind Rose DeWitt-Bukater and Jack Dawson were fictitious characters.

Perhaps the most haunting discoveries made among the wreckage of the Titanic were items of clothing, including a pair of children’s shoes. These artifacts provided a sad reminder of the scale of the tragedy, as did a pair of boots discovered in the mud at the ship’s final resting site.

It is said that the debris of the Titanic will not be able to last long inside the sea, because it is rapidly melting. According to experts, the debris of the Titanic will completely melt in the coming 20-30 years and will dissolve in the seawater.

During the ship’s final moments, it broke apart in two and the wreckage was found in two distinct pieces, the stern, “fragmented virtually beyond recognition,” and the bow of the ship, “remarkably intact,” reports Encyclopedia Titanica.

No, you cannot scuba dive to the Titanic. The Titanic lies in 12,500 feet of ice cold Atlantic ocean and the maximum depth a human can scuba dive is between 400 to 1000 feet because of water pressure.

There are no pictures of the Titanic sinking for several reasons. First, motion picture photography was in its infancy at the time, and relatively uncommon (no such thing as a portable camera, for example).

Tourists can take a tour of the Titanic in 2021, the first time the shipwreck has been explored in 15 years. Packages to visit the submerged vessel are being sold by OceanGate Expeditions for $125,000 (£95,000) a pop.
