The sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912, remains one of history’s most tragic maritime disasters, claiming over 1,500 lives. Despite efforts, only 337 bodies were recovered, with most victims never found. In 1985, explorer Robert Ballard discovered the wreck, but no human remains were found, only personal items and debris. This absence is due to extreme deep-sea conditions—cold temperatures, high pressure, and marine life—causing the decomposition of remains. Over time, the Titanic has continued to decay, and experts predict it will collapse within 50 years. The wreck’s story endures, symbolizing the power of nature and the fragility of life.
