They were probably eaten by sharks. They in turn gave birth to baby sharks..So, in a way, they live on..

God, don't start them off, SD.!!

I think the water might be a little cold for sharks at that time of year. Except the toothless variety- who are more likely to want their Rowntree fruit pastilles rather than to eat the passengers.

Frozen meat- uncooked. Urgh.

Yes... Soon it'll be the 99th year and 1 month..

I agree that this fixation on the Titanic seems a bit strange, as there have been worse sea disasters. i.e WWI/WWII
The Titanic sinking may appeal to those who have a dramatic nature. As unfortunate as the collision was, I think the pre-occupation with it is romantic dribble..

Perhaps this site is suitable for those interested..
