titanic wasnt built to break records. she was a passenger ship.

The 23 knots speed gives lie to the stories about her trying for a speed record.
Mauretania held the Blue Riband for a 1909 crossing at (I believe) 36 knots.a speed Titanic with her reciprocating engines did not have a prayer of approaching. (Mauretania was turbine powered)

On salvage rights, I think it was just that an American company applied for salvage rights and had the ability to reach the wreck. :pint:

Does that also clarify why an american company gained insalvor posession of the artifacts and that no British company concerned the artificats?

J. Bruce Ismay was managing director of White Star Lines, but the line was owned by J.P.Morgan.
J.P.Morgan was one of the world's richest men, who made most of his money in railroads, and was an American.
You can say that Titanic was a British flagged ship, but owned by American intrests.
