OP, do you want to buy some actual Moon rocks?
I have some left over from the Apollo missions. I'll give you a good deal on them, AND a "Certificate of Authenticity" at no extra charge. 
Kidding, just kidding. Nice, historic lump of coal you have there. |

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*qu46l1rEJYjYO2ffAEKkdw.jpeg The Titanic Was on Fire for Days Before It Sank However, despite the century that has passed, the Titanic story is still evolving. Everyone knows the base story about the ship hitting an iceberg, but one major piece missing for years has recently come to light. The Titanic was on fire for days as it was sailing, possibly longer than that. There was a coal fire below deck for days that the crew was unable to put out. The ship sailed along anyway with a fire burning in the hull. More |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The coal fire was well known even back then. Coal fires were common, Titanic's fire was known before leaving on its maiden voyage, and it was discussed during the formal investigation and even then was found to have had no affect on the performance of the ship. Interestingly, it may have actually bought the ship time in its final hours. The coal where the fire was smoldering was moved to the port side of the ship to put it out (which it was put out the day of the sinking). This gave the Titanic a 3 degree list to port, which was noticed by many passengers. It was that 3 degree list that counteracted the starboard list that started to develop during the sinking because of the water rushing into the starboard side of the ship. The Britannic and Lusitania both capsized when they sunk; Titanic did not thanks to the transfer of the coal to the port side. BTW, the "burn mark" in that photo has been shown to be merely a smudge on the camera lens. No other photos from different cameras show that mark on the ship. It was also in the wrong position to the location of the coal fire. In short, the coal fire was a big nothing-burger. Here's a very good podcast on this topic:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfSa8kqqfYg |

Except they didn't. Lusitania went down with a heavy list to starboard. Britannic rolled on it's starboard side but didn't go all the way over. Both went down by the bow and struck the seabed while the stern was still above water. |

IIRC sea pressure is 44 psi per 100ft. Any bodies on the ship were pulverized and liquefied long before reaching the seabed.
As far as salvage goes we recycle cars that people have died in. We don't leave them on the streets. If souls are imbedded into the ship and the artifacts, what about all the people that have died at sea and never recovered. Are we swimming in souls when we go to the beach? We display dead bodies (mummies) in museums, unearth ancient cities and recover lost gold from Spanish galleons. We have raised and salvaged sunken submarines just for info on the enemy. We even salvage body parts for transplants. We keep urns with loved ones ashes as memorials. I'm not seeing an issue with some black rocks that may or may not have been from the wreck of the Titanic. I keep mine as a memorial in my office and as a reminder of man's arrogance. It reminds me that I never know everything and nothing is perfect. That in my opinion is the Titanic's greatest legacy. |

'The first class tickets ranged enormously in price, from $150 (about $1700 today) for a simple berth, up to $4350 ($50,000) for one of the two Parlour suites. Second class tickets were $60 (around $700) and third class passengers paid between $15 and $40 ($170 - £460).'
