Could Ballard really have claimed the wreck and kept others away? Wouldn't it have been some kind of salvage claim, and for that do you need to actually salvage something?
I know he was dead set against removing anything, at least that's what he said at the time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
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. |

https://www.maritimequest.com/liners/olympic_page_5.htm Looks like rivet holes to me without plainly obvious rivets on surrounding plates. Kinda coincides with everybody including those that have seen the wreck in person that it was hull plates buckling and rivets failing that did her in. Larger warships (as in cruisers) did not have welded hulls until after WWI and they had teething problems with the technology then. |

He found / filmed both ships ahead of schedule and since they had some more time left in the budget he was allowed to search for the Titanic: Once Ballard had completed his mission—if time was left—Thunman said, Ballard could do what he wanted, but never gave him explicit permission to search for the Titanic.
Ballard said Navy Secretary John Lehman knew of the plan. "But the Navy never expected me to find the Titanic, and so when that happened, they got really nervous because of the publicity," Ballard said.

It is not "illegal" to take relics, but for someone subject to the jurisdiction of the United states - that would be citizens , or companies or individuals operating in the United States - the company's permission would be needed first, otherwise it is theft. The company is not compelled to grant such permission. |
