Whoever designed the wooden rails on that thing clearly did a damn good job.

For me the pocket watch that stopped at the exact time of the sinking is the most chilling object which they retrieved from the Titanic.

[susancoddington]

It still blows my mind that dishes and glasses and window panes actually survived the sinking under the immense pressure

[IntrepidMilo]

It is an amazing photo when you think that not only did it survive the sinking. It also survived the bow slamming into the ocean bottom at about 30 knots.

Crazy part is that glass is still full of water to this day.

Probably the most memorable Titanic artifact uncovered for me was a violin of one of the band members with a memento and signature from his fiancee engraved into it

[stevenmoore]

It’s astonishing that from how hard the ship hit the ocean floor that anything could remained in place like that.

The fact that you see these in the Third Class cabins shows just how luxurious Titanic really was. Back then, many such passengers had to bring their own food and sometimes bedding.

But no. Third Class passengers had a full restaurant service. Most of those people would never even have experienced that in their lives before.

The lobsters that were planned for dinner must have thought the the sinking was a miracle.

Passenger:”golly I sure could use some water right now.”
Iceberg:”funny you should mention that…”

[lillyrose]

The pairs of shoes found together was the most haunting to me because where those were found in pairs once had bodies in them when it sank

[spitfireboy]

I remember being at school when they found the titanic. I am glad somebody younger than me is continuing to research and continue detailing history like this.

Everything about the Titanic is incredibly sad 😔

[panzermensch]

Not the Titanic, but the Bismarck has the most haunting thing for me. If you watch James Cameron's documentary on the German Warship, you can see the remains of a Kriegsmarine Sailor still aboard inside the floatplane launcher. It's a sad sight and a reminder that these are indeed graves and deserve respect. May the ocean watch and protect her dead.

Passenger in 1912: "I should have a sip of water."

2024: *_gets chills_*

[maugre]

I saw one interview that mentioned discovering an adult's and child's shoes near each other in one of the cabins. The bodies were gone but you know they died together.

The bisque doll's head that was found near the wreck was pretty haunting in itself.

[kermitthethotslayer]

The most chilling object now is the Logitech Controller sitting close by to the titanic.

[FloatingOnAZephyr]

It's certainly a contender, but for me it's the violin Hartley played as the ship went down. To hear that instrument making the very same sounds it made in those final moments would be one of the most spine-tingling experiences imaginable.

The ceramic doll head was a more poignant reminded of those who died. It was a child's toy.
