Before I get started Id like to say that I have read every post on all the forms and from the looks of it TITANIC'S hull is in great shape to be raised from the sea.


I didn't know such a determination could be made that way. Did you see the pictures? It doesn't look to be in "great shape." Not even close.


Quote:
Most people think this ship is weak and can not hold itself if it were to be raised. THINK OF THIS PEOPLE. the hull is being pressed on by tons and tons of water each day. (1 ton of water for every 3in X 3in).


That's in no way indicative of Titanic's integrity or lack of it. The steel itself is under pressure, but not just from inside the hull, but from every direction. The pressure inside the ship is in equilibrium with that outside. Solid steel doesn't compress so easily, now does it? It says nothing of how Titanic would hold up structurally with the different stresses to which it'd be subjected.

WE HAVE THE TECHNOLEGY TO DO THIS.


Do we? What do we have that'd allow us to raise Titanic?


Quote:
Im not saying pull it up fast. It would be more like a couple of feet per day becase the faster u pull things up the more water resistance there is.


2 feet a day over 12,460 feet? You're seriously suggesting a lifting operation that'd take over 17 years?

I won't even get into the "huge tank of fresh water" lunacy.

...Plus....WHY? its just a lump of metal what possible reason could you have for hauling it up...the thing is a wreck......and a grave yard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------why?, because over 1,500 people died from that ship. Because 1,500 people died on that "lump of meatal" thats why.


Why's that a reason to raise that lump of metal? What 'bout the other wrecks down there that'd claimed even more lives? What would raising a hulk do for any of them?

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR PEOPLE'S OPINIONS ON THIS..THANK YOU


You're welcome.


Come to think of it, I should consider that you might've been joking 'bout all this. It's too ridiculous.
