eli5 Why can’t they raise the Titanic the same way they raised the Mary Rose?
In: 0
The wreck of the titanic has been corroding and withering away for over a hundred years in salt water. It would be so structurally weak that wherever you tried lifting it from, it would just break apart. That and it would cost so much to even try, that I doubt any company would even want to because I doubt the income of a titanic museum would turn a profit from the initial cost of lifting the wreck out of the ocean.
Another interesting side note – who would even own the rights to the wreckage? That could also be another roadblock.
