thats cool, your got your opinions too. but i suggest you learn your facts. ive studied titanic for 15+ years and am currently writting a book. now the man i talk of(douglass john faulkner woolley)is not only the truthful owner of titanic but the qe1 as well. also as per your claim of ballard being the first one to titanic,

@shorty65251 look, we thoroughly researched this project for months, and we have dozens of historical and scholarly sources to back up everything said in this presentation. If you're not going to give us any info other than a biased book, and the advice that not everything we learn in school is true, i'm gonna call bullshit on that. In our extensive research, Mr. Woolley never came up, had he we would've included him for sure. As Mr. Woolley, as far as the public knows, did not discover the

titanic, your claim that he is the "truthful owner" of the titanic is a load of crap. I would be interested to read your book when it comes out, as well as know where the hell youre getting some of your info. But for now I'm just gonna be that person who tells you go check your spelling and please leave this alone if you're just going to spew biased bs with no source of your information. I do respect other people's opinions generally, but in terms of this we know what we're talking about.

Could you talk any faster?

[hkyquidditchplayer13]

@maverick191232 yes, i could

why is the narrator in such a rush? maybe she was on the titanic at the time of recording and had to hurry a little.

[hkyquidditchplayer13]

@shelzo haha yeah thats why we didnt make it past regionals. 10 minute time limits difficult to work with. and im pretty sure i talk that fast normally anyway.

If only the narrator could talk a little faster.

Please Facbook Search " Titanic: Salvaging & Preserving A Legend" and like this page. Its devoted to salvaging the ship on a positive aspect to save and preserve history for future generations. Oceanographers have stated that the bow wreck only has 10-15 years max before its crumbles in on its self. This page raises awareness to save the artifacts from within the ship before they are sealed up into a massive Iron Ore deposite forever.

so before you jump me about a topic for which i have studied for over 15 years think to yourself, maybe this guy knows what he is talking about and maybe we are just a bunch of students who piled common facts together in a hurry for a class project maybe we should have dug deeper past the common truth talked to people that have been there people who had family on that ship people involved in maintaning the wreck. i have have done all this and more in my search to know titanic and write my book.

[shorty65251]

einstien said that when we loose or child like way of thinking we will no longer have progress(i might be paraphrasing a bit)its this kind of off the cuff thinking fro which tomorrow is possible. all great truths began as blasphemies, the earth is flat, we are the center of the universe, the planet revolve around us, ect.

[shorty65251]

his plan is to fill 200 balloons with hydrogen through a electric process that would vibrate the ship free off of the bottom of the abyss without damaging her. over a week or so she would be lifted to with in 200 feet of the suface and towed to ny to not only finish her maiden voyage but to be rebuilt so she could freely sail back to europe. like many of you im not sure this could ever really be done but i still support him in his dream to so.

[shorty65251]

do understand his ownership of titanic started with a dream of his when he was a child, a dream for which many people have had and doug still holds. hus wish is to be able to raise the titanic and rebuild her into a museum/hotel, this was started when the ship was believed to be in one piece but when found to be broken he addapted his plan so that it could still work.

[shorty65251]

check out dougs web site swsalvors.co.uk to get a better under standing of what he is doing and who he is. however please keep in mind my past comment that history is full of lies, it is up to you to find the truth for yourself.

and also, no one person could possibly be the owner of the titanic. The Titanic is a part of history that may never be un-done. It is a reminder that nature can outwit us and not to trust everything that man has created. the RMS Titanic is a monument entitled to anyone that it has greatly affected. Saying that one man owns this piece of history is like saying that one man owns art, or one man owns music. I would like to see this image that you are talking about and your information regarding it
