Kathy, let me say something.......
In late July of 2001 I went to the artifacts exibit in Nashville. For about 3 and a half years I had been reading everything possible on Titanic. I had really gotten to know alot about the great ship. Let me just say that when I looked at those artifacts I had never felt closer to Titanic than ever. It was an in desribable feeling for me to know what I was looking at. I was looking at money that had once belonged to a passenger on Titanic. If those artifacts weren't brought up, I would have never felt closer to Titanic than I did in that time span. What's really the point of letting the sea and the organisms with it get the artifacts when we can get them and preserve them so future generations can see what the people of 1912 used throughout there daily lives and what it looked like. What better way to show people history than that? It does something that no book can do.
