Discovery, Exploration and Salvage Recommendations

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 I'm curious about expeditions prior to 1985; any memoirs of people who explored or dove on the wreck; and anything detailing efforts to explore, preserve and salvage the wreck. Books, articles, newspaper... I'll take anything you can recommend.

Thanks,
Brad
 
I've seen that photo a few times. It's grainy enough that it could really be anything, including a trick of what little light they had to play with.
 
Reportedly, plans were set in motion shortly after the sinking itself to locate the wreck as a lot of the wealthy passengers on board lost a lot of their prized possessions in the sinking. However, this was obviously impossible at the time.

Re Jack Grimm, as Michael said, the photo is fairly grainy and whatever the object is was buried in the silt, but it could well be a propeller blade.

Cheers,
Adam.

LOL. I still can't find this photo anywhere online.
 
The problem is that it was in the wrong location. That grainy photo may be a propeller but it's not the Titanic's. Her's are still attatched to the ship.
