| dc.description | Correspondence consisting of two one page typescript letters on Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution letterhead and two page handwritten letter expressing shared belief that the TITANIC should not be raised and that the ocean floor is now her home and should remain so. Based on the findings from the July 1986 expedition Dr. Robert Ballard conveys that he is even more convinced that any salvage attempts would be futile and foolish. The TITANIC lies partially buried in the mud on the ocean floor, encrusted with rust and coral; much of the beautiful wood and luxurious ornamentation for which she was famous no longer exists. | |
