I understand the main reason why hundreds of artefacts have already been recovered and exhibited is that the items salvaged are of historical interest into daily life in 1912. They have little or no importance in the actual disaster. People come to museums primarily to see how people used to live. They have no actual personal connection. Museums are filled with basically curious people who want to understand what life in those days was like. Survivor Eva Hart said she did not agree with the idea of salvaging and displaying pots and pans because everyone knows what they look like in their kitchen and they hold no importance when researching that era. I think however recovering the sacks of mail would be a most significant find. It would show the present generation and future generations how people used to live, and how they would address their emotions and affections on paper, from the wealthiest to the poorest.

I'm not sure if I believe that the wreck of the Titanic will collapse in exactly 14 years. It probably won't be too long before it collapses since the wreck is not in good condition, but it may be longer than 14 years before it collapses. Too bad the wreck is in such bad condition.
