RE: Gavin's post-
I was hoping that the artefacts (articles sounds so much more approriate) would *hook-up* with the late Mr. Walter Lord's invaluable holdings, at the Grenwhich Museum.
(BTW: Dr. Eric Kently, at the time representing Grenwhich Museum, contributed an outstanding article in regards to salvage, from a curators standpoint. These same folks who's *anti-salvage* views, ultimately changed and they were to entertain a much successful exhibition of the artefacts.)
Now, am I mistaken in recalling that *whomever* from the Society of Museums of the continental U.S. also denounced salvage and vowed to *not* allow the housing of TITANIC artefacts at U.S. museum grounds.
Is it really all about money, or do any of these folks have just the slighest notion of the artefacts significance?
Are these same folks really trying to save them?
George Tulloch, P.H. Nargeolet, Yann Houard, Pierre Valldy, LP-3 Conservator,
the NAUTILE and so many others already saved them...
...now it's up to the rest of the world to entrust a permanent savoir.
