100th Anniversary of the Sinking of the Titanic April 15, 1912 The builders and designers of the RMS Titanic did not call her unsinkable. This appellation was given to her by the press after the sinking became an accepted cliche. The Titanic's captain, EJ Smith, canceled a scheduled lifeboat drill on April 14, 1912, the day the ship hit an iceberg. Not Tonight, Dear... The night of the sinking, there was no dancing on board the Titanic. British ships did not allow dancing on Sundays!

There are no human remains down there. Its been a hundered years. There is still clothing that could show where a body had come to rest after sinking to the ocean floor. But with all the active marine life down there, no actual bodies (including bones). Best estimates I have heard of say the actual bodies disapeared with in a year or two.
