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.
