Titanic sank more than a hundred years ago, why not salvage it?

"Titanic" is a familiar movie, and it is also the "proud one" in the world's film culture. In the movie Titanic, the whole movie starts with underwater archeology. In fact, it has been more than a hundred years since the Titanic sank and has not been salvaged. The underwater archeology in the TV series is just an artistic representation based on facts. In fact, the Titanic has never been salvaged. Why not salvage? Lao Liang's explanation can be said to be to the point. What did Lao Liang say?

Before we talk about this issue, let’s talk about the Titanic for everyone. The Titanic was a passenger ship owned by the British White Star Line, and it was quite powerful, representing the highest level of British shipbuilding. This behemoth has a displacement of an astonishing 46,000 tons and is very luxurious. The Titanic's maiden voyage took place on April 10, 1912. The official propaganda at that time claimed to be "unsinkable", which was not only true but also full of confidence. After all, Britain in the early 20th century before World War I definitely had this confidence. Rather than saying this is sailing, it is actually a display platform for rich people.

Of the more than 2,500 people on board the Titanic, most of them were dignitaries, and the number of luxury accessories they brought with them was naturally staggering. As for the number of poor people, there are some, but the number is very small. Ever since, the Titanic, carrying people's hopes and dreams, sailed from Southampton Port to New York, USA. Unexpectedly, on April 14, 1914, we encountered a huge disaster. The Titanic hit an iceberg and collapsed suddenly, with serious water leaks. After a hard struggle that lasted for 2 hours and 40 minutes, the behemoth sank to the bottom of the sea, and more than 1,500 people were buried with it.

For the Titanic, people knew the exact location of the shipwreck, but no one was willing to salvage it. According to scientists' explanation, this sunken ship will not be truly obsolete until 2030. Counting on fingers, it only lasts for more than ten years. Why don't people salvage it? Lao Liang had his own explanation for this matter, and he got to the point. Lao Liang said that this is not because people are unwilling to salvage the Titanic, but because of practical considerations. Specifically, there are two reasons. Let’s see what Lao Liang said.

Lao Liang said that first of all, the current salvage technology is not up to par. No one knows what the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean looks like. If we go all out to salvage it, it will cause certain damage to the Titanic's hull. Secondly, the question of whether there was any treasure on the Titanic was disrespectful to the deceased in Lao Liang's opinion. Taking the two points together, Lao Liang said that the Titanic really cannot be salvaged. According to Lao Liang, not salvaging the Titanic is a reflection on this major shipwreck and respect for the victims.

The two points mentioned by Lao Liang are full of the brilliance of human nature. It can be said that Lao Liang's explanation is still on point. Underwater archeology itself is a very difficult task, not to mention the Titanic, which has sunk to the bottom of the sea for more than 100 years. Therefore, let it fend for itself on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, which is its final destination. Although the topic of why the Titanic was not salvaged after it sank has been discussed by some people, the editor still wants to use Lao Liang’s explanation to explain an issue to everyone, that is, respect for the deceased and reflection on the incident itself. A very important warning for us. Do you think this is true?
