In the name off all that is holly, get a grip! First off, this topic has been done to death on this site, honestly its getting beyond irritating. Thank you LeoPlumtree for being the voice of reason, I observed your input on a similar thread about this very subject, very well done may I say my friend ;) Raising Titanic, is not, in any way economically viable, to any stretch of anyone’s over vivid imagination, such a venture, does not make economic sense, it be cheaper to build it again and trash it a little, put that on display and let the world see it. If you just take a moment to think of the practical night mare such a venture posses. You need to raise the ship, stabilize it, drag it many miles to port, then what? Leave it in dock? Honestly where are you going to put it? Let us assume, someone who has more money than sense does this, what exactly is the point in it? Ship will be tied up and you can look at it from a distance, what is the point in that. Be better to buy yourself a huge high definition TV and watch underwater footage. Anything raised from titanic is treated with museum care, as soon as it comes out the water, and is transported like Hannibal lector, you simply can’t do that with a massive ship, that's been decaying for 90 odd years, and is lacking any structural rigidity what so ever. I don’t support such a venture in the least; it’s a grave site, for God sake let them rest in peace........

I'm sorry, I am not convinced that the ship would survive a raising effort. Each time they dive, they document the deterioration of the ship and on the History Channel last month, the dive crew reported that the ship had deteriorated substancially. Plus, the longer we sit and talk about raising it, the years fly by while the ship sits and rots. If we wait another 20 years to try and raise it, for example..........it maybe so far gone to do it. You also have to contend with the international community who will probably bark at the suggestion because it's a grave yard.

Many people talk of the Titanic as a "Fragile Shell". Forgetting the many bulkheads witch support the ship.
These bulkheads will have been badly corroded by now but they will still have most of there strength. |

Of course it could be done; with the (right) parties being interested and enough money thrown at the project there wouldn't be a scrap left on the bottom. I personally would like to
see her brought up before she collapses into herself and if Woods Hole or someone as reputable were involved I would even chip in a few bucks. As for the gravesite concept I ask again: when does a site become archaeological and O.K. to dig around in? |

"We bring in the world's best deep core driller"-Armageddon
I say we do just that. Birng in a deep core driller on a barge, start extending the drill till we hit the bottom, drill about 30 feet into the ground then develope a transportation vehichle that will run down the pipes of the drill and then detach and hook up the steeel lines to titanic (only the side that is not damaged) and slowly pull it to turn onto the broken side. Then we will attach a net to the bottom of the rolled over side (ya see what im gettin at?) And the lower the ship back to how it was sitting. Its now sitting on the net. (the net got under the boat by rolling the boat partially on its side putting the net under the boat and then rolling the boat back on its other side.) 3 cables will attach to each side of the net (that is only 2 sides the left and right of titanic)and the net will slowly begin lifting with equil force on each side so titanic doesnt fall off. And were home free!!! once we lifted it back up We put it in the fresh water tank (using fresh water with the right base level will eleminate iron corroding bacteria that is why is said fresh water tank and not saltwater) Sink the barge and do all the stuff I mentioned earlier. |

Making 25,000+ feet of steel cables isnt a problem. We make skyscrapers every day

YEAH so what u say we do??? take a shot at raising it before its too weak to even be touched or not raise it and wait 10 more years till its unrecognizable??? if we raise it it would be the greatest attraction since we launched into space

That's all fine and dandy. If only we had such ones capable of the task and a good reason to carry out the task. |
