The Titanic’s sinking in 1912 left around 1,517 people dead, yet no human remains have been found at the wreck site. This absence raises questions, as conditions at 3,800 meters deep can dissolve bones, according to deep-sea explorer Robert Ballard.
Debates continue over recovering artifacts versus preserving the site as a memorial. While some seek closure by locating remains, others argue for the sanctity of the wreck. Ultimately, the Titanic serves as a lasting reminder of the tragedy’s human cost, regardless of whether the mystery of the missing bodies is ever solved.
