13. I don't think they were lying in neat rows.

They found shoes in many places, no doubt where the bodies lay at one time. There were a lot of bodies. Long since consumed by the deep.

One of the little known facts of the Titanic disaster is that bodies were seen floating (still wearing life jackets) by other ocean going vessels in the days following. Passenger ships were told to re-route because it was so awful. There were women in the water clutching babies; another with a large dog. Really horrendous.

The ships did re-route, while working boats picked up bodies for days.

But not before other passengers on other ships saw the floating bodies.
