Why Should The Titanic Be Left Alone?

Decent Essays
I think the Titanic should be left alone. Some people want to bring it up though. It would give us a new mesuem that the U.S could benefit from. We honeslty could learn a lot from bringing it up. I'm still convinced that we shouldn't though and I'm going to give you three reasons why we shouldn't. My first reason is disturbing a gravesite. If they could get the Titanic it would be disturbing the gravesite of fifteen hunfred people. I don't think that would be very respectful. Also the families of the deceased don't want to bring it up either. That would be basically diging up their loved ones. My next reason is cost. The whole project will cost too many of our tax payer dollars. It's estimated to cost around five billion U.S dollars.

    On April 15, 1912, one of the worst calamities struck America. The ship that deemed "unsinkable" sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton, UK to New York, US due to scraping an iceberg. Because of this contretemps, 1,517 people, including the crew, captain, and many helpless children, died. Not only was this an example of America's broad and explicit ambitions, but also of how imperfections can be fatal. Unfortunately, there is not merely one person to blame.…

    Part of the reason it hasn’t happened again, is due to the fact that we have seen what the after effects are. Humans learn from their mistakes. The Titanic, for example, propelled regulations about sailing, and shipbuilding forward after the tragedy that killed over a thousand people. Even if we do learn from our mistakes, what’s stopping us from repeating the mistakes of the past?…

    In this writing i'm going to tell you what i think about this. I agree and disagree, first i'm going to tell you why i agree that artifacts should be taken up.

    Over the course of history, millions of disasters have occurred, both big and small; but few have impacted the world like the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Even before it launched the Titanic became famous for its pure opulence and was branded “unsinkable.” Sadly its glory was short lived as not far into the first voyage it sank. This disaster sprung from a seemingly random chain of events and showed many problems with how White Star Line treated the different classes of people. In the aftermath safety conventions were held and regulations were changed.…

    Some people may think the Titanic should be brought up to the surface. I believe the Titanic shouldn't be brought up. It's already falling apart, if we tried to bring it up it would most likely get destroyed in the process. It's basically a gravesite for over 1,000 people, so moving it would be like digging up a grave. Plus, it would cost thousands, perhaps millions to bring it up.…
