We discuss how Dr. Ballard did not take any artifacts from the wreckage; he considered the site a graveyard and respected the site too much to take an object.</p><p><br></p><p>However, once the Titantic was found immediately thereafter in 1987; a group of investors dove to the Titantic and confiscated around 1800 objects. Selling the items and opening exhibitions.</p><p><br></p><p>We will explore all the many explorations of the site from 1987 through to 1995 when James Cameron makes a series of dives to collect film for his epic movie "Titantic" that would come out in 1997; which will earn 11 Academy Awards, billions in revenue, and introduce a whole new age (myself included) of young people to the tragedy.</p><p><br></p><p>Likewise, we will discuss all the many more dives to the Titantic and the disastrous Oceangate dive of the Titan in June 2023.</p><p><br></p><p>After this horrific tragedy, we discuss all the many legends of curses from way back to 1912 on to today and the paranormal experiences of all the exhibits that hold Titantic artifacts.</p><p><br></p><p>Ending with the question of "Would you purchase a Titantic artifact for your personal self?"</p><p><br></p><p><strong>References for this Episode:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/series/titanic-reference-library/</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://britishtitanicsociety.com/links-research-resources/</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://titanicarchive.org/</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://guides.loc.gov/titanic/library-resources</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://titanicinquiry.org/</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://worldhistoryedu.com/was-the-titanic-actually-cursed/</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://www.history.com/videos/expedition-titanic</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://rmstitanicinc.com/titanic-expeditions/</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://captainstableblog.com/haunting-reminders-of-the-night-titanic-artifacts-and-the-paranormal/</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://titanicsurvivors.com/victims/titanic-bodies-recovered/</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://www.britannica.com/event/Titan-submersible-implosion</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>"Titantic-Treasure of the Deep"--Antonio Montanez channel--https://youtu.be/fpcjDsFEQ6M?si=BDiuxErQm4j3wOje</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>"Robert Ballard returns for first time since discovering Titantic"-The Bay City Times-Mon.
