Lost Photos of the Titanic and The Stories Behind Them

Not Enough Rafts

It's famously known that the Titanic had a dangerous lack of life rafts on board. There were only 20 rafts to accommodate the thousands of people on board. The Titanic was built to have 64 rafts on board, but the White Star Line wanted "uninterrupted views" of the ocean for the passengers. 

Many Lost People

There were eight ships that were used to help collect the alive passengers and dead bodies from the Atlantic Ocean. Sadly, many of the bodies were unidentifiable. Others were not found until months later. Only one-third of the bodies have ever been recovered. This photo shows a group of people waiting to hear the news of whether or not their loved ones lived through the disaster.
