In 1978, The Walt Disney Company and National Geographic magazine considered mounting a joint expedition to find the Titanic, using the aluminium submersible Aluminaut. The Titanic would have been well within the submersible's depth limits, but the plans were abandoned for financial reasons. [13]

Smith resided at the home until he went to sea, at 13. His ghost has been seen in the bedroom drifting across the room, by former residents. The owner at the time of the Titanic centennial stated that one of their tenants rang them up one day years before, to say that he was convinced he had witnessed Smith’s ghost drift across the bedroom, while in bed. The previous owners experienced a flood in the kitchen and said an icy chill was felt in the dining room. Other former residents have said they felt a chill passing over them - “as cold as an iceberg”. Strange noises also have been heard. a b "Titanic 3D: Ghosts Of The Abyss (2003)". Yahoo! Movies. 2012.

Passenger staterooms have largely deteriorated because they were framed in perishable softwoods such as pine, leaving hanging electrical wire, light fixtures and debris interspersed with more durable items like brass bed frames, light fixtures, and marble-topped washstands. Woodwork with attachments like doorknobs, drawer-pulls or push-plates have survived in better condition because of the small electric charge emitted by metal which repels fish and other organisms. Hardwoods like teak and mahogany, the material for most stateroom furnishings, are more resistant to decay. Lavatories and bathrooms within the passenger quarters have resisted decay because they were framed in steel.Nor was she the only woman in Southampton, to be experiencing such strange phenomena. All over the city, wives of sailors and other crew members told tales of waking in the night with nightmares or hearing their names called out. There were a lot of men reaching out for their loved ones, on April 15th, 1912, as they sank to the bottom of the sea. According to one Titanic researcher, “it is said that a male ghost, thought to be violinist John Woodward, has been seen in the orchestra pit - but no-one has seen him recently, sadly”.

In 1977, Second Officer Leonard Bishop of the SS Winterhaven was giving a tour, to a man who he figured was a passenger. The British man was very soft-spoken and extremely interested in every detail of the vessel, almost unusually so. Bishop found the man to be a bit strange – not unpleasant, just odd.

The results were inconclusive, as three weeks of surveying in almost continuous bad weather during July and August 1980 failed to find the Titanic. The problem was exacerbated by technological limitations; the Sea MARC sonar used by the expedition had a relatively low resolution and was a new and untested piece of equipment. It was nearly lost only 36 hours after it was first deployed when the tail was ripped off during a sharp turn, destroying the magnetometer, which would have been vital for detecting the Titanic 's hull. Nonetheless, it surveyed an area of some 500 square nautical miles (1,700 square kilometres) and identified 14 possible targets. [23] A documentary of this expedition, featuring Welles, was titled Search for the Titanic (1981). [24]If you look at the shoes, there are indications that this child is older. The Bata Shoes museum out of Toronto analyzed them and stated that these are the shoes of a two-year-old.

While she did state the liner was “the most wonderful boat you could think of”, she also posted a letter to her secretary from Queenstown, which read, “I’m going to take my very much needed rest on this trip, but I cannot get over my feeling of depression and premonition of trouble. How I wish it were over!” The 2000 expedition by RMS Titanic Inc. carried out 28 dives during which over 800 artefacts were recovered, including the ship's engine telegraphs, perfume vials and watertight door gears.
