I have noticed that some who oppose the recovery and exhibition of objects from the Titanic wreck feel such is ghoulish and grave robbery-
Yet some of those same critics have no problems with the exhibition of items that were found floating on the surface amidst the bodies, such as wreckwood, or items such as menues or paperwork found in the pockets of corpses.
If anything, the latter is even more ghoulish than the former.....
Personally, i favor the exhibition of anything from the wreck, whether it be from the wreck, or the surface- as long as it gets people talking about Titanic.....
How would the exhibition of a menu, from the pocket of a Titanic victim be acceptable, yet the exhibition of lets say a lantern from the wrecksite be 'ghoulish'?
i never understood the double standard....
