…Wreck for $125,000. USD "The pandemic has hit the tourism industry especially hard over the past year, but starting in May of 2021, those itching to travel again—at least straight down—will have the opportunity to visit the most infamous shipwreck of all time. But while airlines and resorts have been slashing prices to encourage people to travel again, visiting the Titanic is an excursion for the one percent. A century after the ship, ironically thought to be unsinkable thanks to its innovative double-hulled design, went down after hitting an iceberg in 1912, and decades after the wreckage was finally discovered by Dr. Robert Ballard in 1985, hundreds of people have visited the site, included film crews for James Cameron's Titanic. A Washington-based company, OceanGate Expeditions, will be returning to the Titanic's final resting place for a series of research expeditions running from May to September over the next few years, and will be inviting a small number of guests to tag along…"

I wonder how the effects of having submarines buzzing around the wreck, stirring up currents and sediment, will be on the poor thing. |

Let it rest there undisturbed, it is the grave for many souls. |

I would do it in a heartbeat if I had the money. |

But thanks to global warming and rising sea temperatures they'll never be able to visit the iceberg… |

I think the hobbies of collecting militaria, refighing battles and walking the locations where people died horrible deaths should be careful with those stones… |

walking the locations where people died horrible deaths should be careful with those stones… Yes in many places e.g. Gettysburg and a number ACW battlefields. Some have said to feel energy left behind by the deaths. Other say they have see spirits of the dead soldiers. Even taking photos and videos, etc. Having seen some of those in the media. Not sure about all that. [besides is would scare the Hell out of me !] And others have said taking a stone or another bit from an area like a battlefield, etc., literally sometimes came back with "something" else as well. And paranormal activity followed. Again not so sure about all that[and don't want to find out!]. Some have gone back to replaced what they took, even if it was just stone or old broken glass, etc. Or sent it back to have it replaced from where it came from. And no further paranormal active occurred. The artifacts taken from the Titanic and placed in a Titanic museum somewhere in the US(?). Again many there say they have experience paranormal active. Especially the docents, etc., who are there all day.[another place I don't want to visit, just for that reason !] … So from what I have seen in the media with the many paranormal reality shows being aired. IMO don't take anything any places where large amounts of blood was shed/lives lost. Just to be safe … Why risk it ?  |
