It’s a wreck. A little more damage won’t hurt.

Why should a United States court have jurisdiction of a shipwreck in international waters?

If they own the salvage rights why do they need a court to say they can salvage anything?

You wonder how a ship which sunk 110 years ago, is 12,500 below the surface and 400 miles from the closest land is subject to any court’s jurisdiction.

As a Sailor, I am totally opposed to this kind of grave robbing! Sunken Ships with a death counts are graves and it’s totally disrespectful to the victims.

It’s a grave.
It should be left alone.

It’s also a grave.
How did this judge get sole self-appointed jurisdiction over a wreck in international waters?

They should have saved the money they wasted on lawyers and spent it on better iceberg spotters.

I’m waiting for the media to say that Trump is involved somehow.

The short answer is that it’s insanely complicated. It’s all bound up in questions of maritime law, specifically salvage law, who owns the wreck, what rights the insurers had and who those rights passed to (the ship was British built and registered but the White Star Line was owned by an American shipping conglomerate) and then there are laws passed by various countries limiting what could be removed from the wreck site. And so on...
