4. A Half-Filled Glass and a Resting Bowler Hat
The next interesting thing on our Titanic facts lists that you may want to know has to do with some objects that once belonged to some passengers. According to experts who explored the wreckage, one of the strangest aspects is seeing items that would have definitely been touched by a Titanic passenger and have remained in the same place their owner left them.
We couldn’t include this in our Titanic facts lists. But let’s find out more about these objects. First-class passenger Henry Harper said he left his bowler hat in his closet right next to his coats the night the ship sank. What is a bit unsettling, however, is that the hat never left the closet during the sinking. It still sits surrounded by the rest of Harper’s belongings, exactly where he left them.
Another cabin holds a glass decanter and a water glass sitting on a washstand. The water glass still stays in the same place it was left. If it was empty, it would obviously have floated and been lost somewhere. But it sits in its place, meaning the person whose cabin it was had taken a drink and left it half-full.

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.
