- Since the wreckage of the RMS Titanic was discovered in 1985, 73 years after it sank in the Atlantic Ocean, over 5,000 artefacts have been recovered.
Many of them are kept in a secret warehouse in Atlanta in the US state of Georgia, with access to view them very rare.
From handbags to perfume vials that still contain scent, these are just some of the thousands of items retrieved.

A bag survived, while not even the bones of its owner remained. We truly are all passengers here
Well said.
A lot of these items seem very suspicious. They look more like pre-made decoy items that look like they resemble as the items from the sinking ship.. 😕 And how is the purse not have holes nor kind of tearing on it and why does it look so brand new? Also, the documents look very sketchy too. The paper was supposed to break down into absolutely nothing after being it was trapped down there for decades. Hmmmmm idk about this titanic myth
Bones dissolve in water, because bones are made of calcium. When water is calcium poor such as water near the sea floor it will pull calcium from anything consisting of it. Bones, shells, you name it. The bones of the victims dissolved long ago. Don’t pretend like you’re an expert if you have no idea what you’re talking about
@@RowdyJr I read a story about some luggage that was brought up and the curators said that the way the bags were tanned helped preserve the item perfectly. Because the bag leather was protected, so were the items inside. I've seen some of these things when they were on tour. Simply amazing to see what can be salvaged.
@@Drakelx55 He was obviously reflecting on the fact that its amazing how things outlast the owner and none of us is here forever, but you chose to act like a nerdy bully.
My great grandmother had boarded the Titanic with her sister and she had forgotten her watch at the hotel so went back to get thinking she had enough time to get back in the ship but the ship sailed 5 min before she was able to get back, her sister, mother, and brother in law and brother in law and mother died that night in the Titanic. If she has not went back for her watch I wouldn't be here today. I got to meet her she was an incredible person.
Wow..
Wow. What a story
@@barkamber554 Gosh, I never heard that before, amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Her: i cant reveal my location
Also her: ATLANTA 🗣️
Top secret location! No one knows where Atlanta is apparently
Also, naming the company and employees. 🤣
somones going to figure out when she was in Atlanta and find her cell phone ping location.
Yeah first thing I thought of 😂
Atlanta is massive
My grandmother was late getting on the titanic she later took the sister ship which is why I’m here today!
And lovely ☺️ it is that you are 😊
Don't you regret being born? 😊
wowww this sick
And your grandfather survived the great war which is why you are here today
@@ilynpayne7491such an insensitive thing to say!
She couldn’t tell us where she is, but “this warehouse is somewhere in Atlanta.” 😂
I read your comment right after she said that! Like come on! How stupid. I know it's not an exact location but really?
She would be no good at keeping a secret
@@TheThatoneguy12121That's every so called "american" that you will come across on a day-to-day basis 😂😂 I'm from north america and I don't know why I have to be part of this stupid country full of contradictive brain rots while eating and drinking red 40 and other contaminated food on a daily basis lmao.
You know Atlanta is a big, sprawling city, right?
So if I tell you that I'm in Atlanta, you'll know exactly where to find me?
It’s absolutely incredible that despite everything that happened that night and the amount of time these objects spent underwater that even pieces of paper managed to survive and still be readable.
I thought the same thing about the paper! HOW IS THAT?!
@@julierogers1155 its because the organisms that would eat the paper are repelled by leather - anything that was in a leather folder, purse or wallet would absolutely survive for hundreds of years down there! :)
It said what her job was so she did tedious work on hats and such. i bet she had a very good quality bag that kept water out. She probably had those papers in another pouch inside that bag that sealed with whatever material they had then. because those papers were very important for when she would have arrived arrived. Back then people really took care of things because paperwork wasn't replaceable and you couldn't just call.
@@trishbaum6364 lmao, can imagine you saying the same thing about ancient egypt
its so deep and cold and under pressure some items are preserved perfectly, there are loads of shoes as well but no bones in them
And now, somewhere down there, lies little pieces of the oceangate sub
freaky
@@mantronixtube I know
Not somewhere, its right next to titanic
And echoes of Stockton Rush's, '*%#@!', ringing throughout eternity.
It's fascinating and eerie at the same time.
There is a Titanic museum with a large collection of artifacts, including deck chairs in Halifax, Nova Scotia. There are 2 cemetaries, also in Halifax, where some from the Titanic are buried. Halifax is where the rescue ships made port after the disaster.
I used to walk through that cemetery as a short cut going to school
going there next month. Have been to belfast Titanic museum twice which relies on digital mainly and the graving dock was very moving. also Southampton and various exhibitions., even worked near where the london enquiry took place, she left from Roche's point near Queenstown i feel a connection as we all do for so many reasons.
@@fanroche8573there's also an exhibit in Liverpool about the Titanics link there. It's very good
I went to that maritime museum in Halifax, it’s super interesting but sadly the titanic portion is a bit small. Still worth the visit.
Fashionable bag for 1912. Still in good condition in-spite of being under saltwater for 73 years. Superior quality leather and craftsmanship helped it to endure the rough conditions at bottom of the sea.
73 years? I think it’s over 100 years ago?
Thats incredible. Really eerie seeing the 3rd class passengers ticket being changed from the Majestic to the Titanic. Amazing its survived so long down there. 1:23
I love everything about the titantic. Im always learning new things
How about that it was the Olympic…
Everything? Including the fact that 1,517 people died?
Me too. Did you know the ship identified as non-binary, not female like most ships, and its pronouns were bull and shit?
You love all the death?
@@Comment2023-kr2luit says 2k in the bio
This maybe a grave but none of them wanted to die this way or chose their fate. If we can remember them by the smallest of the details, then it is the right thing to do. Bring back items that are still intact and throw light around the people that owned or made them. It's an honorable thing that the team is doing down there.
It is truly disgusting. Stealing from the dead. Grave robbing above ground is illegal. It should be under as well. This is truly vile
@@GregB-uc1ky It is not a grave site, it is an accident scene.
@@GregB-uc1ky To be honest, everything we see in museums is taken from the departed. :/
@@GregB-uc1ky How is this stealing from the dead? There are no human remains at the wreck site. What good was Marion's bag doing disintegrating on the sea bed? Recovering the artefacts is preserving the memory of the tragic incident and those that perished.
Yes!!!!
Since this video completely negates the importance of the bag's owner, Marion (Marian) Ogden Meanwell (December 7, 1849 to April 15, 1912 aged 62 years) was a milliner and dressmaker born in Ramsbottom Lancashire in 1849, she lived in Yorkshire and moved to London for many years until deciding to move to the United States in late 1911 to support her recently widowed daughter. Originally intending to sail on The Majestic she was transferred to The Titanic due to an ongoing coal strike at the time causing delays in sea travel. She did not survive the sinking of the RMS Titanic, her bag shown here was recovered/looted from the debris field in 2000.
Thank you for telling us about her in detail
Wow she was born exactly 140 years before me 😮
Rest in peace Marion, it’s thanks your your bag that we know who you are and are able to remember you
Wow her poor daughter.
@@b5896keetalk about bad luck! Such a shame
If I had family on the Titanic who died, I'd be ok with remembering them and the Titanic, so these pieces I'm glad they brought up instead of just turning into nothing.
Everyone’s okay with it now because time has passed. You’d feel differently if it was your spouse or dad that everyone was digging up.
I'm impressed that a news agency showed the only actual known video footage of Titanic rather than the typical Olympic footage they try to use in her place.
Yeah, I've noticed that too
Maybe the BBC is trying to up their game..
I don't get it?
There is nearly no fotage of the Titanic so most documentaries use the sister ship olympic@@PotatoPirate123
Or IS the Olympic the Titanic? I recall a very convincing argument that the two ships may have been switched.
Crazy to think some dude survived hours in the water just because he got incredibly intoxicated as the Titanic sank.

Drinking saved a life that day 😅

These should be in the Titanic Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland (Where the ship was conceived and constructed).
The ship is actually British 😂🎉 should be in England
Like Indy said: 'It belongs in a museum!' 🤣
@@BranBMP I know but it was still built in Belfast and it makes more sense for the items to be there.
@@BranBMPBelfast already has the Titanic museum dedicated to her creation and story. Not to mention it’s right outside her birth place and the city has countless sites related to her construction and history. It makes more sense for them to go there rather than having the English build a brand new multi million dollar institution from scratch.
@@BranBMPbelfast🎉is in the😢United Kingdom 😮😮😮you tard❤
A correction to the story. The idea that the Titanic was "unsinkable" came from a newspaper story only after the Titanic sank. No one at White Star Line, or Harland and Wolff ever said it was unsinkable.
It's so fascinating + unsettling how well preserved some parts of the ship were. Creepiest image for me is in one of the passenger cabins there was a glass standing upright on the side. Every day the ship's staff would leave fresh glasses upside down, so the implication is that whoever stayed in that cabin drank from the glass and set it down the day of the sinking, where it's stayed perfectly preserved in that same spot on the bottom of the ocean for more than a century.
We all now know that there are no contemporary accounts of anyone stating that the Titanic was unsinkable, over and above other large liners, and that this idea came much later, but she still trotted the "thought to be unsinkable" line yet again!
Umm no haha news papers before Titanic had even set sail had used the unsinkable ship as headlines and the White Star line company used it in advertising. Of course those who owned and built it knew it to not be true, but did consider it be unlikely.
"Contrary to popular mythology, Titanic was never described as "unsinkable" without qualification until after she sank. Three trade publications (one of which was probably never published) described Titanic as "practically" unsinkable prior to her sinking. Many survivors recalled in video interviews as well as in testimony that they had considered the ship "unsinkable". Shipbuilder Harland and Wolff did not claim she was unsinkable, but a promotional item from the White Star Line stressed the safety of Olympic and Titanic, claiming that "as far as it is possible to do so, these two wonderful vessels are designed to be unsinkable"." - Wikipedia
Inanimate objects can be retrieved and displayed. It’s not necessary to leave them buried in the sea to show respect.
Agreed. Eventually it will just degrade and be destroyed overtime.
people have no problem digging up ancient graves with mummified remains and looting the site for museums to display in the name of science, this is really no different
I agree and besides what if serving descendants want to claim them?
If they know who the bag belongs to, it should go to the family.
In many cases, insurance had already been paid out by The Liverpool and London Steamship Protection and Indemnity Association. RMS Titanic Inc is understood to have reached an undisclosed settlement with the company in 2007, therefore the relatives have no claim on the items.
I agree
They should photograph every single artifact and create a digital archive people can look through. Why keep all these objects hidden in a secret location where we can’t see them. A digital archive would allow people to virtually see them without revealing their location
Who are you to tell a private company what they should and shouldn't do?
@@robertstallard7836 Sounds like you're a stakeholder in the project. If so, you could take his comment as an indication of potential profits unrealized if the concept of furthering the public access to all the artifacts for its own sake isn't inspiring to you. Either way, I think his contribution to the conversation is valuable. I found it thought-provoking, because I hadn't stopped to think how much people really feel that the story of the Titanic is important enough that they would ask questions like that about public access to the artifacts -- not because the public owns them, but because to some degree, there is a shared sense of responsibility related to the subject of access to all the information about it. We still don't know what truly happened, and it's not an unimportant question. A distant relative of mine who worked in the kitchen was lost on Titanic, and the feeling of not knowing the truth of why he died and needing to know/see/learn everything possible about it feels very important, so imagining what people's CLOSE relatives feel, times thousands, I'd say his point is important to me, and much, much more important to countless others. The private company can do whatever it likes. But, seemingly, the degree to which it responds to the public with anger rather than assistance may be the degree to which the company misses the mark of true greatness, a real legacy worth its effort.
This is genuinely the coolest idea!!!!
Great idea!
I STILL LOVE LEARNING ABOUT THE TITANIC!!!
Me too
There were 2,224 people on the Titanic, but there was only enough space on the 20 lifeboats for 1,178 (or about 53%) of them, & yet only 710 (or about 32%) people survived the sinking of the ship. Also, if you haven't already, look up the 1958 film A Night To Remember since it's essentially the Titanic movie that inspired James Cameron to make his movie.
Should the Titanic wreckage be left alone?
Yes✅
No
These letters and that warehouse belongs to the Rothschild's. Type into Google Rothschild's archives see what you get
Well that why it wouldn't of mattered if there was enough lifeboats, they didn't have enough time to use all the ones that were already on there. There was at least 3 lifeboats still on the Titanic unused.
Maritime rules of the day didn't require lifeboats for everyone. In reality, White Star Line put more than was necessary (yeah I know, how magnanimous of them). This continues to be a cautionary tale on all levels against those that say that industry doesn't require regulations.
After the disaster:
1) Lifeboats for everyone - regardless of the age or class or gender.
2) Creation of an arctic patrol to monitor iceberg traffic (I think they just shut down operations this year).
3) Radio operators must be on duty 24/7;
4) All standard transatlantic shipping/sailing routes to be shifted further south and restricted from going that far north.
@@gardien00001 did you know there was two Titanic's built after they both sank my grandma was born on the day the Titanic sunk
Every day I drive past the Belfast dock where the Titanic was built.
You are northern Irish
@@cherylstevens9370 Yes, amazing how a Country with only 1 million people then, built ships and was the world's largest linen producer.
I’m glad they are retrieving items from the titanic as the ship its self will not be around much longer. Rust is claiming her and I read somewhere that a wave of sand is slowly making its way that direction and it will cover the wreckage.
Do you know you can make up to $30,000 every month from investing in crypto currency? I am willing to teach you with easy steps on how you can invest in crypto currency and make profit monthly.
I don't think removing items to save, respect, n showcase for educational purposes is disrespectful. Forgetting would be.

Most of this footage is R.M.S. Olympic. A clear example is at 3:55 when the tugs names are scratched out in the film. This is because their port of registry on the stern showed New York, and of course, Titanic never made it to New York. The Second Class Promenade also had a last-minute change to put in a screened in section, however on Olympic, these were all open, as seen in the video shown.
These should be placed in a standing exhibit that people can visit.
Why aren't these items back in the UK? Seems like that's where it should be. Speaking as an American.
Because somehow some American private company claimed the wreck and the US court handed the ship to them. Even though the ship was registered in the UK.
oh easy explanation, one word.
money.
I'm guessing we bought it out and won a bid,because if us americans do something well, it's capitalism.
Because the ship was heading to USA anyways 🇺🇸 so the items eventually made it 🇺🇸 also we own the world 🇺🇸

Why does this one company have the sole rights to Titanic objects on the sea floor ?
lets be real who else is gonna be able to get down there.
Because the salvage rights were originally granted to Titanic Ventures in 1987, who co-sponsored a survey and salvage operation of the site. The firm was awarded title to artefacts retrieved.
In May of the same year, Titanic Ventures sold its interests in the salvage operations and artefacts to salvage firm RMS Titanic Inc (RMST).
Not the rivet thing again... The rivets were as good as the steelmaking technology of the day allowed, perhaps only "substandard" compared to the modern steelmaking process.
*Out of **_5,000_** RARELY-SEEN items you highlight: a purse, a rivet, a plate. (This clip was its own disaster.)*
i wanted tp see the perfumes too
I know right? All the interesting artifacts and they show us actual garbage. The bag was fascinating, I'd love to see more personal items like that and get more of a glimpse into the lives of the actual passengers.
Did you watch on mute? The purse contained a health card which is incredibly relevant in our post-covid world, the dinnerware is a stark reminder of the difference in social class aboard the Titanic, which crudely could have made the difference between life and death for someone, and most fascinating of all are the rivets. It's about construction and engineering, and the impact that cutting corners can have on the wellbeing of thousands of people. Just because something isn't 'pretty' doesn't mean it's not interesting.
That's the BBC for you.
@@OpinionatedChicken59 And zero detail on the purse. Who made it? Is the black due to decay or did she really have a solid black handbag? For 3rd class steerage, that would be a fair fancy thing to have. The whole, "Each piece tells a story" but then give us no story. Blah.
Loved the bag, a real quality piece that would be still super fashionable today!
I saw an expert say in 20 years there will be nothing left
I believe the famous bow railing, is now gone.
My great-great grandma was a tween when she went on the Titanic. Her father passed away, but she survived and lived until she was 99. She never talked to me about it, because I was still quite young when she passed away, but she did give me a little piece of wood from the Titanic that had been gifted to her. I have it hanging in my home office.. it just makes me appreciate life when I look at it, because if she hadn’t survived, I wouldn’t be here today. She also ended up staying in the US, which wasn’t her original plan, so I also wouldn’t exist if the Titanic never sank and she had gone back home with her dad. Crazy how little decisions can change the course of history.
your tragedy facinates bbc like digging out treasure from old ship
The rivets had nothing to do with the sinking, and the total area of the ship opened up by the iceberg was minuscule, it was just catastrophically long. It was only 1.2m square, smaller than your average door.
I remember when they first found the Titanic they said they would leave it untouched for respect of the dead and would not go grave robbing what happened there, MONEY i suppose some items ending up in a auction selling for millions trinkets for the rich. Total disrespect for the dead
It's been 84... I mean 112 years. Taking some items is also a way of paying respect to people who built the ship.
i remember that as well, turns out they didnt find any of the dead so their stuff is up for grabs......as long as they make an attempt to find a relative to return it to but i doubt they ever will

british behaviour
@@pumba5715 British behaviour by an American company.?
Bob Ballard dismissed the idea of gaining salvage rights, believing no one would consider grave robbing the sight.
What a good way for RMS to get recompensated for all of the law suits against them after Titanic sank.
What ARE you talking about?
RMS titanic Inc, was only incorporated in the 1990s, some 80 years after the ship sank.
Robert Ballard the man that discovered the titanic always said his biggest regret was not putting in a salvage claim for the titanic. He never wanted to disturb anything and thought it was a very sacred site, he just thought that no one else would go down there so he thought everything was safe but then someone did and now they have the rights to it all.
Taking up artifacts and peoples personal belongings for profit, he says is disgusting and should never been done.
Agreed to some degree
So much tragedy in world history. 😥
I agree it almost makes me wonder 🫣
@@ladyredd6857 It's just too much and it continues. 🤔
anything that identifies where a person came to rest,ie leather belts,shoes,etc. Those spots should be left alone,anything else,sure,bring it to the surface.
How can you restore paper work from bottom of ocean
Some of those could've been recovered floating, probably from the bodies, intact paper from the bottom of the ocean is unrealistic
All those shelves full of items and they show like 10, while showing people talking.
Wonder if they have found the heart of the ocean yet
It’s in your butthole
Now I'll be depressed all week. Why did I watch this?
Maybe on their next voyage to the Titanic wreckage they can find the remains of the last people who went down there.

Very spiritual and interesting museum journey for me
2:04 the rivet theory has proven time and again to be a bunch of baloney. The steel/rivets were not sub-standard for the time. Titanic and her sister Olympic were build side by side. Olympic was made of the exact same steel as Titanic. She had a long and prosperous career of 24 years earning her the nickname ''old reliable''. Olympic even rammed and sunk a U-boat in WW1.
The inside of the facility doesn’t look very impressive. Regular steel shelving like you would see in any commercial warehouse, with no individual containers. No doubt there’s humidity and temperature control, but it’s not what I would expect, at least visually.
Why is this stuff in a secret location but famous paintings etc are public? Makes me think what we see in public are just dupes if they are hiding debris from the titanic this badly.
everything we`ve been told is a big lie , there is more story and details to what really happened to the titanic .....??????
Because it's very valuable!
i know its a mas grave sight that should not be touched but the way the ship is disintegrating they need to have there memorie live on by bringing items up and preserve them
For God's sake it's possession not possesion
Oh boo hoo 😂❄️🤦🏻♂️🧌🤡
This isn't a Bible, quit thumping.
Thanks. Possessions
Lol know now 🤣
possesion
I saw a small Titanic exhibition, many years ago, and one of the exhibits was the dress worn by ‘the unsinkable Bessie Brown’.
Molly Brown, a devoted Catholic who insisted under threats of violence to row their lifeboat back to pick up survivors in the water. The English crewman in the boat was particularly rude to her for suggesting they do the Christian thing
“The unsinkable James Brown”
“The Unsinkable Mel S. Spice Brown”
Basically graverobbing

No it’s not .
There's no bodies left down there. They all dissolved.
Should the reporter wear gloves. The way she kept touching the table and so close to the artifacts.
What’s the point of taking all these artifacts from a grave and keeping them in a secret location rather than on display to share it’s history
If you listened with your ears, you would have heard her say that these artifacts are put on exhibits across the world.
High slag content is the rivets has been disproven if my memory serves.
WHY CANT WE LEAVE THE PLACE ALONE?

Not that tired old trope about the ship having sunk because of impurities in the steel of the rivets. Give me a break. Why don't you tell me next about how her rudder was 'undersized'.
The least expert 'expert' they could of dragged up.
Leave the stuff there… why do people always want to feast on a tragedy. Leave it to rest.
I hate when people say it's a grave site and we shouldn't be messing with it, but do you think if any of the people who died on that ship could speak they'd be happy that this is where their bodies will lay forever? In a scary dark cold place?

Ocean gate has entered the chat
She doesn’t answer the question. In weather it should be left where it lies.
I'm gonna be that guy....whether.
weather refers to forecast conditions, ergo rain,wind, temp etc.
It's like any other archaeology.
The wreck itself should remain undisturbed as a maritime grave, the debris field is debatable.
Learn something new everyday! The substandard bolts that “burst” the seam of the ship, when “exposed to the cold” makes perfect sense of sinking
Give the stuff back to the families
There is no DNA to do a trace back to their family trees
The families filed insurance claims and were paid.
It sank on the 15th April, not 19th April.
My good friend Joanie Guggenheim’s grandfather went down on the titanic she’s furious that they’re allowed to remove items from the ship. She calls it grave robbing -and I agree.
tell joanie to chill it's just items and each time someone sees them it's a tribute to him. both you and her are just looking for things to complain about. i bet if you get a disease or something else bad happens to you, you will forget all about a few pieces of salvaged goods removed from the ocean floor.
and you’re both wrong. all we have left of these people are the items recovered.
I wonder if she would still feel the same way if, for example, a bag of jewelry belonging to Benjamin Guggenheim were recovered and, after recovery and preservation, handed over to the heirs....
@@cubismic I’m sure everything was heavily insured. You’re missing my point I’m telling you how she feels. How can you criticize that with your idiotic point of view?
@@dan797 The only thing that is idiotic is YOUR and HER point of view....the remains of every single human being are completely gone for a long time, and only god knows how many bodies came to rest exactly where the Titanic went down....maybe Guggenheim´s body came to rest on the ocean floor miles away.....and what they recovered from the Titanic, had most probably nothing to do with Guggenheim.....the wreck will collapse someday, and it is absolutely silly not to recover fragile , unique and delicate items before they will be destroyed forever....
It would be cool if there was a museum exhibition on these
Funny they always bring up grave site respect. But no one ever does this ever when digging out mummies in Egypt or when Anthropologists did up bones or fossilized humans or Peruvian mummies of young girls in the Andes. Funny is that. Pick and chose and relativize it away based on whatever the need and then fall back on that it benefits science or cultural study. Laughable really.
Especially when there's literally no bodies left down there.
Bob Ballard is the king of moving goalpost when it comes to this.
A hyphen is not needed after an adverb ("rarely"). This is not a compound adjective, where a hyphen is often needed.
Over the years I’ve grown more against salvaging anymore items from the Titanic. It’s a gravesite of a tragedy. We have enough.
It feels like it’s more about profits/personal ego, than respecting the tragedy.
If they don't collect the artifacts now soon all of it will be gone and we will have nothing to remember it by. even though people did die.. some survived and it's important to tell everyone's stories and have pieces of history to go along with it so they are not forgotten by future generations
The ship structure has become part of the ecosystem but all the bags, items and trinkets are just trash imo. Put them in a museum, I don't care, it's all trash littering the bottom of the ocean. It doesn't "belong" there. 🐋🐟🐟🐟
Scavangers never fail to prey upon the sites of tragedy.
Next will be sunken war ships that are grave sites like titanic
Why are people looting a sea grave?
There's no bodies left down there. They all dissolved.
The entire world is a grave. I'd rather have those items in a museum than lost forever.

Am I the only one who thinks it is sacrilegious to take items from the remains of the Titanic? I know there is possibly historical interest or value, but still...
Titanic wreckage shows us how boring our lives are. If a whole planet is obsessed with a ship wreck I think we are doomed and we have nothing interesting to do. Leave the shit alone. Focus on more important things.
Please notice, people follow religions thousands-years old, study philosophical schools centuries old, practice economic and political doctrines almost as old (democracy, anyone?), speak languages with roots to the beginnings of humankind (and many study languages nobody speaks anymore). Current scientific discoveries started with millennia-old observations ("on the shoulders of giants"), there are same-age technologies still in use (agriculture, anyone?), not to speak about arts and literature (Lascaux, Hurrian hymn). History, plus archeology and paleontology are robust fields of study.

It's not about the wreckage, it's about the iconic history that wreckage represents. Gives a glimps at a bygone era.
meh, you’re no fun
Every single piece that can be recovered should be. At some point that wreck will collapse and marvolous things will be gone forever. If a place like Pompeii is fine to dig up or you can tour the catacombs of Paris this is no different.
It’s not fine… they just do it nonetheless.
Robbing the Grave.
There's no bodies left down there. They all dissolved.
a more polite society would call the recovery of personal property from the wreckage of the titanic grave robbing
Leave it alone! What do you expect to learn from a ladies handbag.
The paperwork proving white star line was guilty of manslaughter by taking passengers from their other liners to make the Titanic look "fully booked" on its maiden voyage.
@@Maggiolone85 that sounds like a conspiracy theory
@@jimferry6539because it virtually is
Those tickets look incredible considering they were underwater for over 70 years...

I may have misunderstood, but are some of these items from the most recent RMS Titanic Inc dive in July? I thought that expedition was just for observation and to document the state of the wreck. Their surely can't be much left to recover from her now, she's been plundered so much over the last 38 years she should surely now be left alone as a capsule to a bygone era.
Yeah, you clearly misunderstood. There are/were thousands of items down there, so there’s no shortage of things to recover.
You’re correct, this expedition that was just finished was only for documenting the state of the wreck currently. Nothing was taken, although a plaque was left for P.H. Nargolet “Mr.Titanic. Who died on the Oceangate sub.
