2. A Graveyard of Shoes
We continue this Titanic facts list with an eerie one. In 2004, a photo was taken of a pair of shoes lying on the bottom of the ocean at the wreckage site. 100 years after the Titanic’s sinking, the photograph was released to the public.
The shoes were next to each other and so close together that they most likely were once on the victim, and the corpse has since disintegrated. Filmmaker James Cameron has seen the wreckage site multiple times and says that no human skeletons have ever been found, and they won’t be found because bones usually dissolve pretty quickly at this depth.
The only items the passengers who didn’t survive left behind were their clothes and their shoes. A pair of shoes found close together is more likely to be where a passenger’s body came to rest.
That’s definitely one of the most spine-chilling Titanic facts.

This was very interesting but the fact about the photograph was the only one I’d never heard before.
This article was very interesting reading! I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for this info!
This Titanic story gave me goosebumps and just blew my mind. Such a sad and tragic story. That little small word “IF” I had only done this or “IF” I had only done that. So sad…
the makes & blilders of the ship said “not ever God ” can bring this ship down
Excellent with little known facts. Have always been fascinated by the history of the Titanic!! Curious as to how many pets survived the sinking.
It is impossible for his violin to be returned to his fiance who would have been probably over 120 in 2013.
Very interesting . The story of the sinking of the Titanic is very sad and tragic story but yet I love to read it.
Excellent work, the fact about the key is the one that really got to me, something so simple but so much more important.
God proved to man he is not perfect ….so admit your mistakes and move on.live learn and improve.We are at fault when we ignore all the signs or warnings that ‘s right in front of us.The artical was good.My favorite part was about the iceberg with a streak of paint on the side.Yes it was so tragic and could have been prevented.
