Eerie for sure...I wonder how long bones last down there😳...

They're long gone. Have you ever seen the pic of the boots on the ocean floor from the Titanic? Experts say a body landed there and the boots are the only thing left.

They're on this page: http://titanic2.net/bismark.htm

Hold the phone - something that sank to the bottom of the ocean more than a century ago is falling apart?

I thought the same thing.

They just don’t make things like they used to.

Odd isn’t it, decades old (before Titanic) wooden ship’s remains are found? How do they last longer than steel structures? See the following:

Also of interest if you have time to spare....The sinking of the Titanic in real time:

Excellent video, even though it's very sad to watch. Thanks for posting it.

Yes, very sad to watch.

“Gunshots were heard as she begins her plunge” still gives me the chills....1500 souls still on board! On a lighter note I half expected to hear Celine Dion break out with “My Heart Will Go On”!
