Raising the Titanic 😦

"Tampering with a gravesite"

Every other museum: (casually walks away)

Considering it's literally decaying into nothing I think its valid to keep at least some memorabilia.

Bro, they don't realize the Titanic is disappearing. When the titanic is gone, future generations might not even believe it existed. I feel preserving these artifacts was a good way to preserve the Titanic

[EarlTheWhiteNinja]

Considering the fact that the wreck itself will soon dissapear forever, I'd love to see more of the artifacts from down there be preserved before it's too late.

“Tampering with a grave site” please your gravesite is gonna be a rust stain in a few years

[irateamatsu]

Honestly, standing in the same room as that piece would send chills down my spine

[rizeoutlaw]

In my opinion, it’s a good way of making sure the victims are never forgotten it’s also a good way to make sure history is never forgotten and we don’t make the same mistakes. history always has a way of repeating itself.

[Danymok]

I think it was not a bad thing. They recovered artifacts that would have been lost forever. We don't want a conspiracy in the future that the Titanic never existed, so keeping it's memory alive is fine.

If it were my relatives, id want to see as much stuff as they could bring up. It's an important piece of history and should be conserved at all costs.

The difference between Titanic and a cemetery is that people can visit the cemetery. If it were me, I would prefer to be remembered through a respectful Museum display rather than forgotten forever.

[Jameswebbtelescope]

This isn’t salvaging a gravesite… this is retreaving an artifact from history.

[MaskHysteria]

The only difference between this and archaeologists digging up ancient burial sites is a couple thousand years

[choosey]

If folks are going to complain about this, then ALL MUSEUMS need to be closed! No more tombs, no more paintings, bones, etc.

[united_kaos]

I would love to see it for as long as possible before it goes

[SirPiglet]

They need to preserve as much as possible, otherwise future generations will call it a hoax or forget about it. Which is happening now with some other important terrible historic events. 😢

[magnumcipher]

The preservation of these artifacts is the way this story will live on through history.

[HHHPedigrees]

Better in a museum than decaying in the ocean

[apocalypse]

"tampering with the gravesite" my arse, what they gonna do after the entire titanic corrodes away? blame the ocean?

[samanthashaw]

I think that the victims have had a lot of time to “rest” even tho they aren’t even living anymore and considering it’s gonna rot and decay in a few years we might as well preserve atleast some of it.

[bluekunt]

Keeping artifacts lets these things live on forever in history.
