I think the titanic was a great ship but many people had died and we should leave them in peace like Dr.Billrad R said and he also put a plaqe says that he left in peace and that means do not bisturbe and the other plaque said in memory of those who road and died on the titanic but i think it is very mean and croal to the dead passangers on the titanic to take things up to the shore becuasethe titanic should be left olone on the ocean bottem

Is that the necklace they found? I am amazed that it is in that good of condition considering 99 years have past since the tragic incedent. I am also amazed on how rich and wealthy the people were and all the stuff they had! Its a shame it sunk only after 4 days of sailing. Not even a week past by!

The RMS TITANIC continues to facinate the world, ever for 99 years since the sinking. I have been writing a novel for around a year or two and it truly sadens me that people would just go and take Titanic artifacts. I beg of you, let those who perished rest in peace, including the greatest lost of all TITANIC. Please?
I think that the battle between who owns the wreak should stop,the White star line own it,its there ship. and any way,its a lovely ship,I have a model of that ship and its really nice apart from the life boats,I think there where 16(in real time) but theres only 10(!) on my model. please correct me if I’m wrong
Under the command of Edward Smith, the ship leaved Southampton with 2224 passengers aboard, including some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of poor emigrants from Europe seeking a new life in North America. The ship had advanced safety features, but there were not enough lifeboats to accommodate all of those aboard. Only 1,178 people can be carried in lifeboats.
Four days into the crossing and about 375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 pm ship's time. The glancing collision caused Titanic's hull plates to buckle inwards along her starboard side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea; the ship gradually filled with water. Meanwhile, passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats, many of which were launched only partly loaded.
By 2:20 AM, the giant ship broke apart and foundered, with over 1000 people still aboard. Just under two hours after the sinking, the Cunard liner RMS Carpathia arrived and brought aboard about 705 survivors.
