Titanic

Titanic-

After setting off from Southport,England the Titanic hit an iceberg on the 15th April, with the loss of over 1,500 lives out of the estimated 1,520 people who died, sadly only 330 bodies were the  recovered and 130 were unrecognizable. The tempreture was -2 degrees most passengers died of hypothermia or heart attacks. over 62 percent of first class passengers were saved and just 25 percent were third class that was because first class were on the top of the boat and third class were on  the bottom of the ship so it was easier to get to the first class

The Titanic had:

75,000lb(34,000kg) of fresh meat,
25,000lb(11,400kg) of poultry and game,
11,000lb(5,000kg) of fresh fish
40,000 eggs,
36,000 oranges,
16,000 lemons,
20,000 bottles of beer,
1,500 bottles of wine,
40 tons of potatoes,
1,500 gal(5,700l) of fresh milk,
12,000 dinner plates,
8,000 cut glass tumblers
45,000 table napkins
15,000 pillow slips
25,000 fine towels
18,000 bed-sheets

No people have ever been discovered in or around the ship wreck of Titanic,Any bodies that were found have been eaten by fish, anything that is left of the people are their shoes and boots.
