They are interseted in recovering anything they can, and exploring the wreck. Gold and jewels would be hard to come by as they are buried in the rubble of the stateroom floors and scattered about in the debris field. RMS most likley doesn't allow you too keep items recovered. Unless you bought them at an auction.
In otherwords they are interested in anything they can find, including missing things, that floated out of the ship during the sinking, or got destroyed in the breakup, or are laying in the debrid feild or ship covered by sand and rubble, or got destroyed due to underwater preassure or bacteria. Some include the: Foward Grand Staircase Cherub The Lounge Electrolier The FGSC Candelabra at the D-Deck Landing Light Fixture Glass Bowls Stained Glass Window Fragments The FGSC and Aft Grand Staircass Baulstrades Probably Gone, But the FGSC and AGSC stairs The FGSC and AGSC Dome fragments And many other items. Precise items are also gone and like the Rubaiyat have not been found. Hope this helps. Matt Simons |

of course. if they had any moral values than they would have left the artifacts at the bottom of the ocean. whoever described them as gravediggers is exactly right. they're just greedy for the money and the publicity.

Idealy I think these artifacts should be returned to where they were found. Unfortunately we do not live in an ideal world.

PPL could see the Artifacts if they were brought up from the wreck which could interest more children giving them a better history and more knowledge
it will lie to waste down below, lets use it for something |

#1 the olympic items wouldn't work because they haven't been sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic for 93 years.
#2 how would you feel johno if they took the tuxedo(for instance) that you were buried in because they said it would never do you any good? |

True, not underwater for 93 years, just above it for 94. Also who could say 'oh oh that is not a Titanic artifact because there is no discolouration' etc. I do not care, it is grave robery, the tuxedo example some's up my view's on this. |

You won't catch me dead wearing a tuxedo anyway. But I understand your point.
These artifacts just do not translate the tragedy when removed from the wreck site. A picture of two laced-up shoes 3-miles down tells me more about the tragedy than seeing these shoes in real life behind glass in an exhibit. Or the cup resting on one of the ships' boilers just would not look the same if brought to the surface on it's own. Give me the pictures of these artifacts the way God placed them, now that's more touching than any old exhibit. Thanks but no-thanks. |

well said, you can't look at the items in a glass case enclosure and get the same feel for the artifacts that lay on the bottom of the cold dark ocean bottom.
