    The Dead Might Have More To Say....

    As technology for probing the Titanic's debris field becomes more precise and sophisticated, Do you think clothing from some of the already disintegrated bodies might be identified and reveal the owner, or possibly contain further valuable information/insight (as in diaries, notebooks, letters...

    Why were so few victims found at the surface?

    Recovered bodies of children

    I was just wondering: why is it that so many bodies of adults were found, but only 3 of children? Could it have been because the children weren't wearing lifejackets or something?
