Re: Pirates caught
Yep, Lee, as much as we all love Titanic, we are likley going to have to accept two things:
1)she is deteriorating and it appears to be an accelerating process.
2)People are going to go down there to loot one way or another and there is nothing that one can do about it one way or another.
As regards 1) I have seen the outtake photos of Ghosts of the Abyss in the Titanic Commutator and while I would have loved to have gone down to see her before I saw these photos, I think I'll pass. To quote Capt. Rostron when invited to come aboard Mauretania one last time before she went to the wreckers: "No. I prefer to remember her the way she was."
--- "What I remember about that night- what I will remember as long as I live- is the people crying out to each other as the stern began to plunge down. I heard people crying, 'I love you.'"

Re: Pirates caught
Hi All
Just to add a cat among the pidgeons here, I was talking to a big salvage company down south while I was ther, and he was telling me they now have the machinery to dredge well within the range of the titanic. This lays to horrible thaughts of not so distant future when the wreck has given its all to the greed of the people now, dredgers will move in and excavate the burid parts of the ship for the wealth of millionairs pockets.

Re: Pirates caught
Hey, Graham,
Guess I should have expected this...if someone hears gold...no matter how precious...anything is going to get torn up if it is in the way of the jerks!!
