Haunting pictures of boots and a coat at Titanic wreck site.
Newly-released photos show the haunting images of Titanic victim's clothing lining the bottom of the ocean floor 100 years after the New York-bound ship sank in the North Atlantic. A 2004 photograph, released to the public for the first time this week in an uncropped version to coincide with the disaster's centenary, shows a coat and boots in the mud at the legendary shipwreck site. It came as the passengers of a cruise ship retracing the route of the ill-fated liner RMS Titanic held an emotional memorial service at the exact spot where the ship sank on its maiden voyage a century ago. The fact that the pair of boots were found so close to each other implies that they were probably on the feet of a victim whose body has since disintegrated. A number of pairs were found near a coat and some other items in the sea bed. Though previous expeditions, like that of film-maker James Cameron, said that they did not see human remains, others feel that it is obvious that the victims bodies were there at one point. Passengers take part in the Titanic memorial service 100 years after the disaster at the site where it sunk in the North Atlantic. Rev. Canon Huw Mosford, leads the service marking the 100th year anniversary of the Titanic disaster, aboard the MS Balmoral Titanic cruise ship, in the North Atlantic ocean.
