The tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912, during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, continues to captivate the world. The so-called “unsinkable” ship struck an iceberg, leading to the deaths of over 1,500 passengers and crew.

One haunting mystery remains: why were so few bodies recovered? Despite the massive loss of life, only about 340 bodies were ever found. Experts believe strong ocean currents, cold temperatures, and marine life likely contributed to the disappearance of many remains.

Decades later, on September 1, 1985, the wreck of the Titanic was finally discovered more than 12,000 feet beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Its discovery provided crucial insight into the ship’s final moments and has fueled ongoing interest in the disaster.

The Titanic remains one of history’s most enduring tragedies, symbolizing both human ambition and vulnerability in the face of nature.
