Why Should The Titanic Be Left Alone?

Since the catastrophic night of the sinking of the Titanic, the ship had been unfounded for about seven decades. Nearly 12,460 feet deep in the ocean, a team of people from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found the Titanic in September of 1985 (Brewster & Coulter). The ship was split into two, despite popular belief that the Titanic had sank in one piece (Brewster & Coulter, 1998). If anyone were to try to raise part of the 60 foot buried Titanic, it would fall apart (Brewster & Coulter, 1998). After 73 long years, the mystery of the

Why the issuance of countless codes, rules, best practices and guidelines, the outburst of marine colleges, institutions, governmental offices and committees, the strictness on certification, investigation, inspections and control, did not succeed their safety purpose? Still the Titanic tragedy did not recur after 100 years just by chance.

Of course diving into ship wrecks is a very dangerous job and requires special equipment to safely gather up everything they’re looking for. First you need a ship to get you out to where you

About a hundred years have passed since the British passenger liner met its fatal end in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912. The RMS Titanic plummeted two miles to the ocean floor after clashing into an iceberg during its journey to the Port of New York. Over 1,500 people drowned in this unfortunate event. Ever since the sinking, numerous books and remarkable films have been made, telling the story of the ship and its passengers. The wreck of the ship was found in 1985 by the coast of Newfoundland, in the North Atlantic Ocean. Over the years, Titanic’s story has gained unbelievable public exposure and warns people about the danger of not being cautious enough. The Steamship, Titanic, was the end-result of fierce competition among competitor shipping lines in the early 1900s. The White Star Line company competed with Cunard, a British company with two ships that ranked in the categories for the most sophisticated and luxurious during their time. One of Cunard’s masterpieces, Lusitania, met its devastating end in 1915 when a torpedo was fired by a German U-boat and sunk the ship. The sinking killed about 1,200 out of 1,959 people on board and was the gateway to the United States’ entry into World War I. We chose this topic to write about because of the overwhelming impact that the event had on American history. The three categories on the Titanic are: the creation of the boat, passengers and luxury on board, and the night of the unfortunate tragedy.

The Titanic may be one of the most famous and well known shipwrecks of our time. Just about everyone learns of the tragedy in school and how it was a complete accident. Information has been found that point to the tragedy not being what we think it is. There is evidence that shows that the ship thought to be the Titanic may actually be named the Olympic, and may have been used in an insurance scam. This evidence includes pictures showing different amounts of port holes and even people working on the ship coming forward. It has yet to be proven if this is 100% true, but most would agree that all of this points to it being true.

According to the Salvage Law the basic purpose is to encourage recovery of property lost at sea so that the property can be returned to

The Titanic left a huge mark in history, even people today still have questions about what happened. The Titanic’s maiden voyage was on, Wednesday, April 10, 1912. It was such a remarkable ship, even under the water Robert Ballard was impressed about it’s details. On April 14, 1912, the Titanic received a total of seven iceberg warnings in one day total. This tragedy was so huge Robert Ballard said “The loss of the Titanic was as saddening to the people of the at time as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was to a later time . Something seemed lost forever. People’s view of the world is shaken up because of such tragedies The most recent example is the loss of the space shuttle Challenger. As with the Titanic too much confidence

It’s September 4, 2013 in the Gulf of Mexico on our deep sea exploration of a shipwreck, what we thought was a regular investigation ended up being much more than what we expected. We found two other shipwreck in the area. Everything that was on the ship before it sank looks well preserved. There were 60 artifacts recovered from the ships these items being musket parts, six cannons, ceramic cups, dishes, clothing, a toothbrush and china. We were all surprised to even find more than one ship but to find different artifacts that can tell a story is more than exciting. We don’t have an exact date for when these ships sank but we're assuming they sank around the 19th century in a storm. All the ships we found were around 4,363 feet below the

First things first, the Titanic was said to be “The Ship of Wonders”; and if you were onboard, you would’ve thought that it truly was. Almost everything onboard was extraordinary. From the bedrooms to the restaurants, everything looked amazing. However, that was if you

The most common cases of salvage involve ships that are in danger of sinking or ones that have been abandoned. The Amistad claimants argued that the death and murder of the crew could also fall under the category of a salvage, and therefore gives them rights to the ship and cargo under those laws. (SafeSea, 2014)

I think the Titanic should be preserved so people can see it and experience it. Say your kids or grandkids may want to see it but can't of they don't preserve it. It should be preserved so everyone can come see the huge attraction. If they one day bring it up you'll see so many attractions and things

The two Media sources I chose were History Channel and national Geographic. They are alike because They both give kinda a same description on the Titanic. Also the history Channel and National geographic are alike because they both have pictures of stuff left on the boat. They are different because

Would you like somebody to tare up your grave site? It would be very disrespect because people died down there. The titanic is like a grave site because very important people died down there. It should be a law to bring the titanic up.

The sea bed was lied by more than three billion shipwrecks those are trusted; storms and accidents caused them during thousands of years of sea-borne trading. Not only marine archaeologists valuable information about the culture, but also technology and trade patterns of ancient civilizations are offered by these wrecks. But the vast majority have been so deep that it is difficult to research. Scuba divers can only act about no more than 50 meters and it has limited the operations to wrecks near the coast, that storms and plant growth have destroyed it. Manned submarines have explored a few deep sea sites such as the Titanic. In opposite, it is too expensive for such a kind of equipment for unknown subjects. However, some new mini submarine

The side propellers would then be set in motion, allowing the submarine to sink to a required depth. The great thing about this boat is that, should there be a failure of the engine, the boat, from its own buoyancy, would rise to the surface.
