there was an expedition to get it in Spring 2020, but it was delayed due to the Corona Virus.
I agreeI'm aware I might be in the minority, but I say get it. I've heard the new attempted launch will be in August of 2021 due to the Corona as you mentioned. Personally, I feel if I were a victim of the ship I would want people to learn from the history as long as possible vs letting it decompose to the sand. I say bring up whatever you can for restoration and safe keeping.
Parks would be fanboying LOLIf they make it back and they are able to get it I say go for it. It would probably make Parks a happy guy.
That might not be a bad idea but I don't know how many people would get to see it. The whole debris field vrs the ship argument really doesn't make sense to me anymore. It's all one disaster site. What's good for one area should be good for the whole site. It's kind of like saying at the Battle of Gettysburg site its not ok to pick up muskets balls at Picket's charge area but it 's ok to pick them up at Chamberlain's Little Round Top stand. I don't know if that's a good analogy but it seems to be to me at least. Cheers.If they ever recover the Marconi Transmitter, I think the most appropriate place for the item is at Jack Phillips Memorial Park Cloister in Godalming Surrey.View attachment 75996View attachment 75997View attachment 75998
That is why I use the word: If they ever recover! O though if recovered I can see very high bidding price war breaking out will take place.That might not be a bad idea but I don't know how many people would get to see it.

The problem for me is that it is setting a precedent with regard to cutting into the wreck.That might not be a bad idea but I don't know how many people would get to see it.

If they are brought up they will go to the USA and will stay in the USA.If they ever recover the Marconi Transmitter, I think the most appropriate place for the item is at Jack Phillips Memorial Park Cloister in Godalming Surrey.
What ?Perrie was all about pomp and glory and with his splendid 11 bedroom house in London, who want to live a dump of place like Belfast!
Parks Stephenson and co (who are the ones behind all this) have been clear that if they do recover anything it won't be going up for auction.If they are brought up they will go to the USA and will stay in the USA. Moore like go where the money is! Would it surprise me if it wasn't the Chinese to!
Let me clear of Perrie comment I made. I have visit Belfast and is not a dump. Its a figure of speak of the past. Certainty Belfast was a heavy industrial city probably no worse than other city's in the UK in the past. Dirty filthy black smoke chimneys pushing out pollution and noise. As for the luxury living style Perrie in the serene country side away from from the pollution and noise. 40 minute train journey to his luxury house in London and to see the top theatre shows was a far cry from the polluted cities and included London to. But he had that escape to his luxury mansion in Surrey and England would become his residential homes. Leaving his poor old brother-in-law Alexander Carlisle in charge of the shipyard and the problems for him to sort out for himself, whilst Perrie and his dear wife Eliza was living in the land of luxury indeed.
It was the last time I went to the exhibit. But that was when it was at the Rio before they moved the exhibit to the Luxor. They were moving artifacts around to different places but that might be permanent in Vegas now given its size. Probably should go again as it's only an hour away now with the new road.isn't the big piece in Las Vegas or something?
anyway, yeah, we should some stuff before its too late. like I said, we'll be looking real silly when she's gone and all the artifacts..
