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.
