Maybe some of you know about it, some maybe not: The RMS Titanic Inc. acquired the rights to the shipwreck the RMS Carpathia, the wreck was detected in 1999.
And this is the story: in September 1999 it was reported in the medias that the treasure hunter Graham Jessop and his company Argosy International Ltd. has detected the wreck of the Carpathia 185 miles off the southwestern English coast. The wreck is resting in a depth of 600 feet. The Carpathia was torpedoed by a German U-boat during World War I.

*** Salvager says he found Carpathia
LONDON (AP) - A treasure hunter claimed Wednesday he has found the
wreck of the Carpathia - the ship famed for rescuing survivors from
the doomed Titanic in 1912. Graham Jessop said his company, Argosy
International Ltd., found the wreck on the bottom of the Atlantic
Ocean earlier this week, about 185 miles off the southwestern English
coast. It rested in 600 feet of water. The 13,000-ton Cunard Line
ship rescued 705 survivors from the Titanic disaster on the morning
of April 15, 1912, after its radio operator picked up a distress
signal from the cruise liner, which sank after hitting an iceberg.
The Carpathia sank six years later when, during World War I, it was
torpedoed twice by a German U-boat off the south coast of Ireland.
Five people died; 215 escaped. See

By surfing through the net I found the following:
"The Company's (i.e. The RMS Titanic Inc.)depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $587,000 from $303,000, or 94%, during the 2001 fiscal year as compared to the 2000 fiscal year. This increase is primarily attributed to the amortization of certain intangibles which the Company acquired in early 2000 for $900,000. These intangibles are related to prospective salvage opportunities for twelve shipwrecks throughout the world. These intangibles were exchanged in May 2001 for the ownership rights to the Carpathia. (...) In May 2001, the Company acquired the rights to the shipwreck the RMS Carpathia."

Does that mean that we will hear more about the Carpathia wreck in a reasonable time?
