Human Remains Found In Titanic Shipwreck (Photos)

Newly released photographs taken on a research trip in 2004 of the Titanic’s final resting place at the bottom of the North Atlantic show what is believed to be the remains of passengers who went down with the ship on April 15, 1912.

Filmmaker James Cameron, who has visited the wreck 33 times, told the newspaper that he had seen “zero human remains” during his extensive explorations of the Titanic. “We’ve seen shoes. We’ve seen pairs of shoes, which would strongly suggest there was a body there at one point. But we’ve never seen any human remains.”

For Delgado, who was the chief scientist on an expedition in 2010 that mapped the entire site, the difference in opinion is “one of semantics.”

“I as an archaeologist would say those are human remains,” he said, referring to the photograph of the coat and boots specifically. “Buried in that sediment are very likely forensic remains of that person.”
