The Debate continues
What of the remains of the Titanic? Should the wreck be preserved as it is on the ocean floor? Should the artifacts be collected to speak the history of their owners? Should the ship itself be raised?
Dr. Robert Ballard's interest in the Titanic consumed much of his childhood and guided his career path as he became an oceanographer. His countless trips to the site and many hours of research regarding the disaster have endeared this ship to his heart. While many had searched and proposed that the wreckage would never be found, he discovered the final resting places of the Titanic's pieces during an undersea expedition in September of 1985. He expresses his opinion of the treatment of the wreck site.
Dr. Melinda Ratchford has researched the history of the ship and its stories for over fifty years. She serves as a guest speaker throughout the southeast. She has visited the site of the wreckage along with the shipyard where the vessel was constructed. She has stood on the dock in Southampton as well as other stops on the itinerary. She has walked among the graves in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She expresses her opinion of the exploration of the wreckage.
The fascination with the Titanic's story has continued for the more than 100 years since her fatal voyage. Stories continue to appear in the media, and artifacts continue to be auctioned.
