German U-Boat UC/42 Rediscovered in Cork Harbour

After so many teams have dived Titanic, and I've heard nothing in the 20-some years since it was found, I'm going to assume no, but that's only an assumption.

There's a picture in Ballard's Titanic book of two shoes laying side by side, heel-to-heel, as they might have laid down there as the body inside them disintegrated; that picture has stuck with me.

Cameron and his crew never reported remains when they dove the wreck for his movie, and salvors have gone down there as well. I'd have thought that and remains discovered would have elicited some media response.

But, like you said, they did find remains on Hunley, in far warmer water than the deep north Atlantic, where the marine life would be far more abundant. As I'm not a marine biologist, I can only speculate.
