eli5 Why can’t they raise the Titanic the same way they raised the Mary Rose?
In: 0
The Mary Rose sank in 40ft (12m) of water.
The Titanic is **13,000ft (4000m)** underwater.
That alone makes raising the Titanic virtually impossible. Just getting to the wreck is borderline impossible much less working on it.
Beyond that – the Titanic is not in the same shape as the Mary Rose. It has decayed much more and at this point attempting to raise it would simply destroy the wreck.
