Human remains may be in mud at Titanic site

Human remains may be embedded in the mud of the North Atlantic where the Titanic came to rest when it sank 100 years ago.

A 2004 photograph, released to the public for the first time yesterday in an uncropped version to coincide with the disaster’s centenary, shows a coat and boots in the mud at the shipwreck site.

“These are not shoes that fell out neatly from somebody’s bag right next to each other,” said James Delgado, the director of maritime heritage at the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration.
