Was there ever any bones found in the wreck of the Titanic?

Question

I watched most of the documentaries concerning the wreck of the Titanic but nothing was ever mentioned about this. I can understand nothing remaining of the bones outside of the wreck but what about the inside.

Answer 1

The flesh and bones of the victims dissolved over the years.

"Ballard's previous expeditions to Titanic found and photographed a pair of work boots. Their relative position –about shoulder-length apart, heels in, toes out – suggest they remained on someone's feet as the body came to rest on the ocean floor. Over the years, flesh and bone dissolved, leaving the microbe-resistant leather intact. A ceramic doll's head also resisted the ravages of time. Both artifacts call to mind the more than 1,500 deaths."

Answer 2

Titanic Wreck Bodies

Answer 3

there are no bodies at the Titanic wreck and very few bones. The only bones to be found have been in isolated areas of the ship, where small organisms haven't gotten to them. Otherwise, decomposition and sea creatures have gotten everything.

Answer 4

No, by the time the Titanic was found on the ocean floor in 1985, it had been 73 years since the sinking. All bodies that went to the bottom with the ship were gone, due to a combination of pressure, decay, and hungry little creatures wandering around in the dark.

Answer 5

Titanic Wreckage Found

Answer 6

I never heard of any bones being found. They were probably decayed and gone by the time it was found. I am VERY interested in the Titanic. Would have been great to talk to some of the people on it who survived.

Answer 7

Everyone is correct that bones haven't been found, but when I read your question I wondered if bodies had washed up anywhere (the answer is no; they were about 1,000 miles from land). Then I found an article that said there might have been remains in an area of the ship that hasn't been searched:

This is kind of graphic; it's a description of other passenger ships' encounters with remains and the recovery of bodies.

Also, there have been researchers trying to identify the unidentified and unclaimed bodies through DNA.

I had never thought about this question before; it's as if the ship sank and all the people ceased to exist.

Answer 8

there has never been a report stating that bones were found in, on, or around the wreck, a pair of shoes were discovered on the initial visit and there isnt a way to reach all the way into the ship to check, however it is highly unlikely that any do remain

Answer 10

No remains have been found on board the Titanic. It is not typical to find reamains on shipwrecks so the lack of such on the Titanic does not comes as a surprise.
