The RMS Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, after hitting an iceberg during its maiden voyage, killing over 1,500 people. Despite extensive searches, few bodies were recovered, leaving a mystery. The wreck was found on September 1, 1985, at a depth of over 12,000 feet in the Atlantic Ocean. Conditions at such depths, with freezing temperatures and immense pressure, led to the consumption of bodies by bacteria and sea creatures. Soft tissue decomposed, and bones dissolved due to lack of calcium carbonate in the water. While many artifacts have been recovered, no human remains were found. The Titanic’s wreckage continues to deteriorate, and in 2023, the Titan submersible tragically imploded during an expedition to the site.
