      Yazole That's part of a conspiracy theory which I think is very true. I think the death of Titanic was planned as well as the limited amount of life boats and life jackets. Only women and children were the first to be saved. That left the men waiting on the ship. The titanic was the rich men's grave.

    Unlike others who have explored the remains of the Titanic and exploited it, and many who have salvaged the wreck and in the process caused great damage - Dr. Robert Ballard has a deep respect and reverence for what remains of the ship and the victims, and doesn't want to exploit it for personal greed or fame.
    He wants to preserve what is possible.

      I read in an old book on famous sunken ships, on one subject on the Britannic, Titanic's sister, they hoped someday in the future they could plant underwater cameras outside and inside the Britannic and people everywhere with Internet access can see the old shipwreck for themselves right at home, similar to what they do with Google satelite cameras. People could see a historical site without paying for a thousand dollar plane ticket and thousands of more dollars for a submarine tour. They wanted to make this a thrilling experience for everyone and not reserved for the rich.

      For some ridiculous reason the the jerks in Greece who claim authority over antiques like the sunken ship won't allow pictures or videos to be taken inside or outside the Britannic. That makes no sense and raises suspicion of there being a hidden conspiracy behind as to what truly caused the Britannic to sink. People to this day are still debating whether it was a torpedo or a mine and we won't ever know the truth unless you want to go to jail for 'breaking the law'.

    he's exactly right, I believe in preservation efforts to keep the Titanic alive for future generations, retrieving some artifacts.

If it bothers your conscience, fine, leave the personal items, but pieces of the ship itself should be in a museum before it's too late.

    Seeing "The Big Piece" at the Luxor in Vegas 2 years ago. ..the several ton piece of the hull they hoisted up in 1998...was beyond words. I had yearned to see real Titanic wreck artifacts since I was a 9 yrs old child, so to finally stand next to it at 36 years old was a blessing. The exhibit did not disappoint and you could feel the sacredness of what you were witnessing with each artifact. I said a silent prayer in my head for those who died so unnecessarily and just gave thanks for those souls letting me be a witness to things that truly belong to them now.

      Your comment is exactly why I feel that we should bring up what we can before the ship collapses in and everything is lost. The dead would be honored and remembered by keeping the story alive. Leave clothes and boots or shoes alone from where a person laid to rest but other things like ship pieces, pots, plates, furniture, etc. should be brought up.

We didn't get to find out if we lived or died until the end of the exhibit where we had to scour the giant list of survivors on the wall. It was an excellent exhibit.

    My hat is off to the first seven comments on this site! They all were well said and very heartfelt. Titanic has always been emblematic to me, and seeing this by Dr. Ballard and seeing those shoes where a person once laid, is especially heartbreaking. After the movies and the motion pictures and the editing for movie purposes begins to fade, this is when you really get a taste of what really happened and the suffering that all those real people must have gone through knowing that it was the end for them. I remember when I saw the exhibition in New Jersey right after Dr. Ballard and his team discovered the wreck. Being able to see the physical representation... so many people's innocent lives..was in itself a tremendous blow to me personally and emotionally, and I remember at the end of the exhibition there was a signing book, much like there is after a funeral. I thought it was apropos considering we were not just there at any museum, this was a memorial and a remembrance. My entry was: "... how fragile life is!" And now looking at this, I realize even more the importance of appreciating every day that God wakes us up in the morning, and truly taking in the whole day and deeply appreciating the day we have to enjoy. It's good for our spiritual healing, our mental health; it's good for our soul. Ultimately, it's good for our families and communities! May they all rest in peace, and may all who watch this become thankful. ☮️

    The more you learn about the Titanic disaster the more tragic and horrifying it becomes. It's the complete lack of control these people had over their fate. I think the 9-11 attacks have a similar sadness and tragedy and why it resonates so deeply with everyone, anyone can relate to being a passenger on a large vessel or plane of some sort, completely at the mercy of nature and human engineering, and this is the stuff of nightmares for us all.

    My grandfather's uncle was supposed to travel to America on Titanic. As he said in his diary soon Titanic's departure, he was very sorry that he couldn't get on board due to inflammation in his eye, which was detected on the health examination. Just hours before Titanic's departure. So because he was on the passenger list and his absence on the ship wasn't documented properly, obviously afterwards he wasn't found among the people who were rescued from the sea. Then authorities thought he had died and lost in the sea as he wasn't found. Actually he was left behind on the shore as Titanic sailed away without him and his family. Later, as he read his own death announcement on the news paper, he had to prove to the authorities that he was alive with birth documents etc. and that he wasn't on the ship.
    He wasn't so sorry afterwards to not get on the great Titanic, so he sailed with different ship to United States after recovering from his illness. He's one of the few of my finnish cousins that got to the America in the early 1900's and returned. I'm glad that his trip was well documented as he kept diary along the way and lived long to tell the story onward.

When those boots rot away, then what of the person's memory? It's lost for good. The sense of mortality and folly will be preserved for generations above water.
    The first discoverer of the Titanic was altruistic and believed that the ship should be left as a graveyard and foolishly didn't bring up something to prove he had found her so he lost the salvage rights. In time, there will be nothing left. What's to be gained by that rather than bringing things up and preserving them for history?

      +WachdByBigBrother I disagree. First and foremost, the Titanic is a graveyard. People died there. They died gruesomely, in a horribly traumatic way. Would you walk over your grandmother's resting place and steal her most precious jewels? It's the same with the pyramids. We have placed so many bodies from tombs in museums and that is not respectful at all. Pharaohs brought their gold and jewels with them to their resting places as offerings to the gods of the Afterlife. It's wrong.

      +Melanie Collins I see both sides of the issue. My question is always what would the people who perished want? Speaking only for my dead self of course, but I think I would want my possessions brought to the surface. If they could be handed over to my family, great. If not, a museum. But I just wouldn't want my stuff rotting away on the ocean floor. I wouldn't want my body rotting away on the ocean floor, although in this case that isn't an issue because the bodies are all gone now. At some point in the future there won't be anything left of the site. At the very least I would like to see some innovation in preserving it. I don't know how they would or could do it, but if it's possible I think that would be a good idea.

    They actually did bring up a small part of the ship. I saw it when it was on display in the Las Vegas titanic exhibit a few years back. It was really cool to see.

    The day the discovery made the news, my grandfather came over talking about it. He remembered it well and sold newspapers that day.
