Reply to comment by cksc51 in Previously unreleased footage from first submersible dives in July 1986 to the RMS Titanic shipwreck — British passenger liner that sank 14-15 April 1912 remains about 4,000 metres undersea in the Atlantic Ocean by marketrent

I remember when they first found the Titanic, one of the survivors said something like “Please don’t disturb the wreck, that’s my father’s grave.” And that’s kind of how I’ve thought about it ever since, although it’s been 84 years since I’ve seen that interview and I can’t quite trust my memory.

When Ballard and crew found the wreckage they started yelling and celebrating in the sub. Then they realized they were literally dancing on a mass grave and everyone straightened up.

Yeah, Ballard has always been a decent and respectful person. He wants to make the whole thing into a museum and preserve it. I like that idea.
