For obvious reasons, and I'm sure it is the same for most people, the personal effects are what hit me right in the feels the hardest. Imagining the person who owned that item, their hopes and dreams, aspirations, their plans for when they got to the United States... So many "what could have been" type situations. The love stories, sacrifices made to save someone... The struggles and stories of survival against all odds. I know this was over a hundred years ago, but I feel like the pain and tragedy from the loss of lives still impacts people to this day. I'm grateful that they're being remembered and honored, but none of this should have ever happened. I pray that they're all at peace.

It was so exciting see the whistle of Harold Lowe. To me he waa one of the heroes of the Titanic sinking. I remember see a documentary where his words just freezes me when the Titanic sank completely. He was the only who reorganised the life boats to come back to rescue people as we see in the movie. But what he said after the disaster is just impacting. He said that when the Titanic was already under the water, you could only hear screams and people asking for help. But he said; (and you must have a really cold blood and I'm really sure that broke him completely) "I couldn't come back to the place were people was asking for help. Imagine 1500 people trying to get into just 1 lifeboat. So I had to wait. I had to wait until we couldn't hear almost nobody. I had to wait the people to die" Imagine live with taht the rest of your life...😓 Thise words just made me cry

There were massive ships in the sw Pacific sunk during WWII that are now gone. Salvagers cut them up and scrapped them. They were official war graves. There are people who don't care if it's a sacred place. I'd rather the people that recover the items are getting them for posterity to be put in a museum, etc. I think they should recover the items because at some point they really will be lost. Either stolen, buried, rusted away, or rotted away. Would you want them lost for all time? The items help us pay homage and remembrance to the victims.

I understand recovering artifacts from the ship itself, however, personal items that have an identified owner, such as the document* & watch** should be returned to the eldest living relative of the deceased. They do not belong to the divers or company paying for the dive! *As someone who has done genealogy, this document would be a treasured & imporant piece of family history **"Recovered from his body" is a nice way of saying pilfered from his remains! Technically, the sea is the 2nd class Russian immigrant passenger's "Final resting place/tomb" and taking the item from his body & not returning it to a family member is nothing less than grave robbing.

@coinucopia 2 жыл бұрын

The watch would have been recovered from his body in the days after the sinking. Dozens of bodies were found still floating in the sea and were given proper burials and their personal items given to family members. Any remains that went down with the ship would have completely disappeared a hundred years ago.

I've always been fascinated by the story of this great and ill-fated ship....White Star Line never claimed her to be "unsinkable", they only implied that it would be unlikely....being as she was suffering from a coal fire in one of her holds, and she was breached through at least 3-4 watertight compartments and the doors were left open, it's a tragedy that came about through what would today be called "the perfect storm"....r.i.p. to all who went down with her, including Capt. John Smith, on his very last cruise for WSL before his retirement....

I think all the artifacts recovered are fascinating as it brings to life the human lives that possessed those items before they passed suddenly in the tragedy and may they rest in eternal peace. In addition, the workmanship that made those items back when quality and attention to detail was paramount. I'm fairly certain that more artifacts will be recovered in the near future before the ship crumbles into a bulk mass. Who knows what lies underneath the 110 years of sand and silt when she hit the bottom. Total fascination with shipwrecks and history.

@@Johndoeson8561 I'm aware, The Britannic if I'm not mistaken was mostly or half empty as a Hospital ship when it hit the mine, And the crew did a fantastic job evacuating the ship except the engines being kept on. Compared to Titanic it was a very very minimal loss of life, Not to discredit the efforts of Titanic's crew who had to deal with a number of challenges. The only criticism I would say was launching the boats either half-full or two thirds empty. As bad as it may sound a disaster like Titanic was needed in a way to help advance safety measures on ship so that nobody else could suffer the same tragedy again. In a lot of cases vast improvements and positive changes have happened after disasters. Safety on the seas has become very good, As with the case of Costa Concordia and it angers me how people wish to compare it with the Titanic disaster, A lot of people on Titanic probably would have wished to be on the Costa Concordia instead if they knew how things would turn out.
