For more than a century, the historic treasures hidden inside the RMS Titanic have lain undisturbed in freezing darkness.
Behind the project is RMS Titanic Inc , the US company solely responsible for salvaging items from the vast debris field surrounding the broken wreck for nearly thirty years. The timing of the announcement is likely to infuriate British ministers, who will today announce a “historic treaty” with the US to better protect the wreck from unwanted scavengers and so-called grave robbers.
Once the fragile roof is removed, the ROV would “collect the primary high-priority targets and transport them to a previously prepared subsea basket”. The precious load would then be hauled up safely to the surface. Bretton Hunchak, president of RMST, insisted his company is determined to preserve history, rather than profits. In recent weeks, he visited Northern Ireland to ask descendants for their approval.“This is a careful, surgical operation to rescue a historically significant item so it can teach future generations about the story of Titanic. We know that the wreck is deteriorating fast.
Last year, the firm nearly lost the salvage rights after a coalition involving British museums and James Cameron, the Titanic film director, attempted to seize them in the courts. The group said it had no plans to further salvage the wreck, and would maintain the salvage rights only to prevent others from doing so.
