Ballard has no permanent claim on the Titanic. Through a quirky law, the wreck officially belongs to George Tulloch, a wealthy car dealer in Connecticut, and Tulloch's company, RMS Titanic, as they were the first salvors on the scene. ``Our ancient Admiralty law is finders-keepers, but if he stops salvaging, he's abandoned the wreck and anyone can follow,'' Ballard says. ``Plus, no other nation has to observe these laws.''
Interesting statement from Ballard: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1999/02/27/MN83764.DTL Since Tulloch's death in 2004 the company has continued with the many court cases that have been filed in a attempt to stop them. |
