Deep-sea explorer Robert Ballard, who led the expedition that found the Titanic, told NPR that this environment makes bone preservation virtually impossible. “Once scavengers remove the flesh, the bones are exposed to water that’s undersaturated in calcium carbonate,” Ballard explained. “At that depth, they dissolve completely.”

Meek, Natasha. “Titanic Mansion Fairseat House in West Yorkshire up for Sale.” Bradford Telegraph and Argus, October 30, 2025. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/25583665.titanic-mansion-fairseat-house-west-yorkshire-sale/.

Fairseat House, near Wetherby, Leeds, was once home to Maria Robinson, the fiancée of Wallace Hartley. Wallace was the violinist who led the Titanic’s band to their final haunting performance as it sank into the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912. The house, which is over 200 years old and originally known as St Ives, has since slowly faded from its status as one of Boston Spa’s grandest residences. In the 1970s, it was carved into four apartments, two of which eventually fell into complete disrepair. By the time Sharon Walton and her husband Dan first saw it, the shutters were fading and the building was tired, but even then she knew it was special.

Amin, Meghna. “BBC Antiques Roadshow Guest Gobsmacked by Staggering Worth of Titanic Artefact.” Liverpool Echo, October 21, 2025. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/tv/bbc-antiques-roadshow-guest-gobsmacked-32720818.

An Antiques Roadshow guest was left stunned by the incredible value of a shilling retrieved from the Titanic disaster site. During Sunday’s episode, the BBC One programme visited the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, where one visitor shared the item salvaged from the 1912 maritime tragedy. The guest presented a photograph of her great-great-uncle, Reginald Hale, alongside an Edwardian silver shilling that had belonged to him, revealing that he had moved to America in his early twenties and worked there for several years. The shilling eventually made its way down through the family, landing in the hands of the guest’s great-grandfather. What happened to his other belongings remains a mystery, possibly shared amongst his 11 surviving siblings. “It’s a bit of a mystery,” she confessed. “If it were to come up for sale at auction, I’m fairly certain it would have a sale estimate of £10,000 to £15,000 and it would make that quite comfortably.” Stunned by the staggering amount, the guest responded: “Gosh, for something that in itself is seemingly so insignificant, that’s incredible.
