Why is Titanic considered a sacred shrine from which nothing can ever be retrieved but the sister ship is a-okay to get stuff from?

Maybe 30 deaths out of 1000 makes it less of a grave?

There have been lots of items retrieved from the Titanic. I went to the exhibit in Vegas several years ago. They had dinnerware from all 3 passenger classes, luggage, money and ship components and lots of other items

Probably the much higher death toll.

Oooh, didn’t remember this [snip] Violet Jessop (who was one of the survivors of the Titanic, and had also been on board when the Olympic collided with HMS Hawke) described the last seconds [/snip]. She sounds like a jinx. 😊
