salvage

Okay, I know it has been long discussed and said that Titanic and Britannic cannot be raised from the ocean floor but what about the ship that saved the Titanic survivors, the Carpathia? On July 17th, 1918, Carpathia was struck by three torpedoes from a German U-boat and sank. The wreck...

About the exhibition which was in Paris and which is now in Melbourne, I believe: Is the reconstruction of the third class room based on a known room number, of which we would know the name of the passenger and therefore of the violinist in this room?

https://nypost.com/2023/08/29/us-opposes-planned-expedition-to-titanic-says-wreck-is-a-grave-site/ Here we go again, back to court, here come the grifters for more booty. Time to stop all salvage, strip this company of all rights forever and leave that ship alone.

What was the reaction of people, and the Titanic Community in general, to the fact that Titanic was found to have in fact broken in two and laying on the bottom of the Atlantic in pieces after the discovery on 1st September 1985? Were there some people who went; "No...no...no! It can't be! That...

In 2000 the "Big Piece" of Titanic was shipped to Front Royal, VA for preservation. I was there when the 20-ton sheet of riveted steel and framing was lowered off the truck. It was stood up for inspection, cleaning and preservation. The whole event made the local Front Royal newspaper. I was...

I guess this is the right spot for this. I recently read an article about the galleon San Jose. And like most shipwreck articles eventually they will get compared to Titanic somehow. In the article it says that Titanic's wreck site has been plundered illegally of thousands of artifacts that are...

Hi Does a full list of items recovered from Titanic exists online? Peter Kyhl

Presumably there were passengers with cameras who continued taking photographs on the ship after Francis Browne left at Queenstown. If these cameras were ever recovered from the debris field, is it possible that the images might've survived? It's a long shot, admittedly, but some of the...

Hi all, OK, this month's topic stems somewhat from some other recent threads on the forums.... Do expeditions to the Titanic wreck have a future? What more can be achieved by them and what would you personally like to see them focus on? Is there anything more that can be learned from the...

Hello ET community, Long time lurker and occasional poster... I was wondering if anyone could recommend some works to me regarding efforts to discover, explore and salvage the wreck. I find this area of the ship's history a bit lacking as of late. Clearly, I know about the Ballard books, but...

Hi There I have recently bought a boxed watch mechanism salvaged from the Lusitania in 1982. With a lot of elbow grease and patience I have managed to get the box open and treat/clean the beautiful watch inside. I was wondering if anyone on here might know of where I could get hold of one of...

Good news! Charles Pellegrino found it in his heart, to return too RMSTI Inc., a group of rusticles recovered from the wreck. I recall reading the Auction preview of Heritage Galleries last month...apparantly one large piece possessed fossilized remants of deck roping. Michael Cundiff NV, USA

How available is footage of the raising of the Big Piece? I believe the documentary "Titanic: The Investigation Begins" features some footage of the failed 1996 attempt to raise the hull section. Does "Answers From the Abyss" feature any footage of the actual raising? Is there any footage anywhere?

Some of the most exciting photos of ther 'Big Piece' I have seen are of the great artifact arriving in different cities, just outside the venue that will host a Titanic Artifact Exhibition. For those of you who have photos of the Big Piece being brought into the venue where a Titanic Exhibit...

The D deck partition of the recovered "Big Piece" was once a wall of a room in the D deck 1st class galley, listed as a 'glass room'. Do we know what kind of glass was stored in this room? Plates? carraffes? Drinking glasses? Regards tarn Stephanos

The latest issue of Titanic International Society's journal "Voyage" has conciderable coverage on "The Big Piece". Excellent issue.... Its hard to beleive its been 5 years since the Big Piece was raised and brought to Boston... Soon we will be at the 5 year anniversary of the sounding of...

Does anyone know where The Big Piece is going next? I didn't make it to L.A. in time : ( thanks Kevin

One thing about the "Big Piece" that has always left me puzzled was what was the likly style of decor for suites C-79 and C-81? In the shipbuilders book, there was an illustration of C-80 I beleive, which would have been on the opposite side of the ship... So what do you think? In what...

Seems the major C deck portion of the Big Piece is now in Los Angeles..beleive you me its an amazing thing to behold...a true piece of the great ship. Conservator Joe sembrat did a phenominal job conserving the piece..I remember the days when it arrived in Boston, when it was still caked with...
