Titanic and her sister ship were the biggest ships of that time. That's what made them forever something to remember in it's own right, but then for the Titanic to sink on it's maiden voyage just made THAT ship stand out forever..... Sure, other ships have as well, but this one is different.. and I agree with Jessica on one point, it was that era we're all in love with and the extreme tragedy of what happened.

Had Titanic made it and went on to become a war ship, and eventually scrapped, the only thing it would be remembered for was the largest ship in the world at one time.

We only want to raise it now becuase of the saddness of what happened to her and everyone on it.

And, honestly, even thoug I'd like to see it up here where family members of the dead and survivors can see it, they should have done that when it was first found. Now, I think way too much decay has happened for it to actually withstand the pressure changes and the current changes during the way up. I think it would just crumble now.
