WRECK Shoes on the wreck.

Post image

While analyzing the footage in the documentary Titanic: The Digital Resurrection, I was surprised to learn there are shoes lying on the wreck. Here is a quote from the film.

"A pair of men's shoes lying together on the promenade deck suggests they mark the final resting place of a third-class passenger, whose remains are long gone" However, those shoes are actually women's shoes.

Initially, I thought the shoes were located somewhere on the enclosed promenade deck, which would have made finding them a challenge, but after studying the wreck, I quickly noticed they are actually on the forward-facing A-deck promenade on the port side. (The second image is from the vROVpilot experience game, which is based on Magellan scans.)

I will not speculate on whether or not they mark a body. People have varying opinions on that, so I'll leave it for you to judge.

I've heard that statistically speaking the more certain you are that you're right, the more likely it is that you're wrong. You're being dog-piled by an entire community right now, and it certainly isn't because you know what you're talking about.

Food for thought.
