Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Complaints about submersibles visiting the Titanic

[MerlinSub@t-online.de (Carsten Standfuss)]

Ian, my fife cents - Titanic is made from mild steel and will be gone in
50-100 years completly - with or without submersibles.. 

Better they visit them now and so often they can - make pictures, videos
and raise something for public museum porpose before she is a debris
field of flat plates. 

I can not believe that a submersible touch the deck with almost zero
bouancy can badly damage a stable wreck - and a unstable wreck will go
in a couple of years anyway.

In the baltic sea - now virtual every wreck in german waters is protect
by law for archelogical reason - even the newer ones..  :-0

I don't agree that wrecks of ships were we have all informations from -
including the logs, blueprints, building pictures, private and offical
reports should be special protect - there is no lost information on
board of the Titanic make it worth to special-protect this wreck so that
only siencetific can visit here. Its great history for shure - but a
archelogical site ? 
We can build them new if somebody pay the bill - up to the last rived. 

best regards Carsten
