Why it's Impossible to Lift the TITANIC

Why the Titanic is Impossible to Lift

[therandomizer]

Which is why its best to just leave the wreckage alone and let the Titanic and its 1500 passengers that died on that night rest in peace

Legit, this whole argument can be summed up with “It would fall apart and you’d disturb a bunch of graves”

Ive been getting a ton of titanic recomendations lately

As someone on the autism spectrum, I used to be obsessed with the ship and other shipwrecks as a kid, but never knew much of its history until Covid. I even used to watch animated videos of the ship sinking, and even built a small Lego model. I however dreamt of buying the actual set, but never found time as it is costly and am busy with college. The 1997 movie, which I used to be obsessed with as I got older, is truly ahead of its time thanks to the cinematography and soundtrack.

Looking back at my childhood, the 1997 film came out before I was born, but it taught me that life is precious and that history is important in influencing people.

My condolences to those who perished on the Titan sub.

Damage took it down. Damage makes sure it will never come back up. Quite poetic, really.

It would be like trying to lift an oreo out of your cup of milk after letting it sink for a while.

I don’t get why nobody hasn’t suggested constructing an exact copy of the Titanic, old school and all, and just having it in a harbor or coastline as a hotel or something. A luxury stay. It would do extremely well and it would be incredibly cool.

"Should be left alone it's a gravesite."

Every other museum: Casually walks away.

Finally someone got the weight of the Titanic correct 52, 310 tons

“Severe damage….” Tbh they could pull out a single piece and we would flock to it

[conor]

In my opinion we should not go near the titanic or disturb it in any way because it’s a grave yard to the passengers that passed may they rest in peace

Edit:Mom I’m famous btw I’ve never had as many likes

At that depth the pressure will be unimaginable

This is an example of just because something can be done doesn’t mean it should be. That ship is a tomb and should be treated as such.

Raising the Titanic is basically like taking away it's history.

[Thehomieibrahim]

I get wanting to raise it and have it in a museum or something, and I agree that would be awesome, but sometimes the best action is no action

[Filterissac]

Even if someone tried to lift it, it would most likely loose most of its remaining integrity on its way up.

[djpaul]

Best to just bring up small objects and memorabilia and put them in a roadshow exhibition around the world.

[everfolk]

let her rest. it's been 111 years
edit: I'm famous 😳

[theuniversewithin]

We should ask OceanGate to do it. They have the expertise.

Trying to lift 112 year old iron from the seafloor would be like yanking on wet toilet paper
