did any bodies wash ashore when the titanic sank in 1912?
87829
Of the ~1500 people who died, only about 900 bodies were recovered.  For months after, life-jacketed decomposing bodies were spotted by ships takinga similar route.  Perhaps the most famous person to dieon Titanic, John Jacob Astor wasnt pulled from the untill several months after he died, badly decomposed.  No bodies actually washed ashore, but many were lost at sea.

THE TITANIC HAD A DUAL HULL DESIGN.  THE HULL WAS BUILT WITH GAP BETWEEN THE WALLS.  THERE WERE ALSO FIVE COMPARTMENTS CONTAINED IN THE LOWER DECK,  SO THAT IN THE EVENT OF LEAKAGE,  THE WATER COULD BE SEALED OFF AND CONTAINED.  UNFORTUNATELY, ONCE ALL FIVE TOOK ON WATER, THE TITANIC WAS DOOMED. HOPE THIS HELPS

Okay, dissecting this piece by piece:\n\n1) NO, the Titanic was not on the iceberg when it sank. The berg scraped along the side of the ship, which continued to travel for some time (I believe it was more than an hour) before going down completely, snapping in two as it did.\n\n2) No sites or theories, sorry.\n\n3) Yes, and no - in some ways, the White Star Line was responsible, but in other ways, it was not. They were pushing for a new Atlantic speed record, and so the captain didn't slow down even when he was warned of the danger of icebergs. This was his fault. \n\nHowever, what actually sank the "unsinkable" ship was this: the watertight compartments in the bottom of the ship, which SHOULD have made the ship unsinkable! When the ship scraped the berg, the FRONT compartments were breached by ice below the waterline, while the BACK compartments were not. Water flooded the front compartments, making the ship "top heavy" in the bow end. This pulled the front of the ship down. In the scenarios envisioned by the WSL, ALL the compartments would have flooded, and the ship would have continued to float because the water wouldn't have been able to get above the level of those compartments. However, they DIDN'T flood that way. That's also why the ship went down bow-first - the bow was heavier than the stern.\n\n4) I'm not aware of where the steel was obtained, but sheared rivets (the fasteners that held the ship together, cut in two by hitting the berg) recovered from the ocean floor show that there were flaws in the composition of the steel. \n\n\nPersonal observation: you might have better luck arguing that it was the WSL's fault that so many people died, as opposed to the crash itself being their fault. Why? Because:\n\n1) Not enough lifeboats\n2) Lowering half-filled lifeboats (Yes, this really happened - it wasn't just in the movie)\n3) Waiting for a long period of time before attempting to rescue any of the people who lived, but didn't make it to a lifeboat and froze in the water instead\n4) People from the lower classes were actually sealed belowdecks to keep the lifeboat stations from being swamped, and to allow the "more valuable" passengers to get off first. More than 2/3 of the ship's population was from second and third class. \n\nIf I were you, I'd check Wikipedia for articles on the Titanic, and do a basic Internet search. Try "How did the Titanic sink?" and "How was the Titanic built?" on ask.com to get good results.

Yes, a lot of the Titanic underwater shipwreck footage is real actual footage. The director of the film documented how he got this footage in the movie Ghosts of the Abyss. The Robots they used in the footage were nicknamed Jake and Elwood, like the Blues Brothers.

Yeah.  I believe there were about 1100 of them in "Titanic".\n\n\nHope this helps.

RMS Titanic was the second of a trio of superliners intended to dominate the transatlantic travel business.[1]Her older sister was RMS Olympic. After Titanic's sinking, her younger sister HMHS Britannic (originally RMS Gigantic) was built. Owned by the White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, United Kingdom, Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world at the time of her launching. During Titanic's maiden voyage (from Southampton to New York), she struck an iceberg at 11:40 PM (ship's time) on Sunday evening April 14, 1912, and sank two hours and forty minutes later at 2:20 AM Monday morning.\n\n1,523 people perished in the accident, (according to the US Senate investigation), ranking it as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history and by far the most famous. Titanic's design used some of the most advanced technology available at the time and the ship was popularly believed to be "unsinkable". It was a great shock that, despite the advanced technology and experienced crew, Titanic sank with a great loss of life. The media frenzy about Titanic's famous victims, the legends about what happened on board the ship, the resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck in 1985 by a team led by Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel have made Titanic persistently famous in the years since.

A tragedy almost equal to the Titanic's unfolded in the fog-shrouded St. Lawrence River in the spring of 1914.  Steamship Empress of Ireland, outbound from Quebec, and the Norwegian collier Storstad, steaming upriver collieded on May 29 1914.  Of the 1,477 on board, 1,012 lost their lives, including 840 passengers, eight more than had died when the Titanic sank.

There were three Titanic survivors still living as of April 15, 2005 - the anniversary of the ship's sinking in 1912 - and the Titanic International Society lists them as still living. You can read about them here:

If they would have been it would have come from the British Government as the Titanic was a British Ship.  I know that the Company that owned the Titanic did not as they gave bills to surviving crew members for lost uniforms.  As this happened in 1912 I doubt that anyone expected a government entity to compensate them.
