Titantic salvage operations

Titanic salvage operations involve retrieving valuable items and materials from the shipwreck while minimizing environmental impact. After the Titanic sank in 1912, salvage teams used specialized equipment like submarines and remotely operated vehicles to locate, survey, and recover artifacts and materials from the ocean floor at around 12,500 feet deep. The process includes careful planning, cutting techniques, and preservation efforts to prevent further damage to the site. Salvage operations also focus on recovering valuable items like the ship's fittings and artifacts for museums and research, all while respecting the site as a historical and maritime heritage.
