An underwater salvage company was granted approval this week to cut into the wreckage of the Titanic to try to recover a Marconi telegraph, rekindling a complex debate over access to the ship and maritime law.
The company, R.M.S. Titanic, persuaded a federal judge on Monday to allow it to conduct a salvage operation this summer in the wreckage of the ship, which sank during its maiden voyage across the Atlantic in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. More than 1,500 of the ship’s passengers died, and about 700 survived.
The ruling, by Judge Rebecca Beach Smith of the U.S. District Court in Norfolk, Va., made changes to a 2000 court order that prohibited the company from cutting into the ship’s hull to search for diamonds.
The company sought to loosen the restrictions so it could recover the Titanic’s telegraph machine, which it contends could be lost forever because of the degradation of the ship. The radio transmitter could unlock some of the secrets about a missed warning message and distress calls sent from the ship, said the company, which obtained the salvage rights to the wreckage in the 1980s. The site is about 370 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.
“The Marconi device has significant historical, educational, scientific and cultural value as the device used to make distress calls while the Titanic was sinking,” Judge Smith wrote in her ruling. The company will be permitted to “minimally to cut into the wreck” so it can reach the telegraph room, Judge Smith wrote.
David Concannon, a lawyer for R.M.S. Titanic, said in an interview on Tuesday that the company would try to avoid cutting into the ship and that the ship’s telegraph room could be reached through a skylight that was already open.

Thanks - I know a bit about the Tesla/Edison power battle and hardly anything about what our world would look like if Tesla had won.
Thanks for the link - I’m supposed to be doing things - will read later. Thanks again.
“See there are actually two jokes there. “
I see no jokes. I only a poster that is oblivious to the fact that R.M.S. Titanic, Inc. has no connection to the operation or construction of the ship.

There are so many people here that do not know you can cut-”n”-paste Morse code into an app that can read the message. On the other hand those who take the time to look each letter up on a chart will have a better experience I guess.
Did you read the rest of his predictions?
The end of motherhood and the supremacy of women over men.
Based on what trends he is seeing he refers to the queen bee and her. hive:
THERE are the vast, desexualized armies of workers whose sole aim and happiness in life is hard work. It is the perfection of communism, of socialized, cooperative life wherein all things, including the young, are the property and concern of all.

“beyond what the surviving wireless operator, Harold Bride told the inquest?”
Harold was in bed when any incoming warnings would have been received.
Okay, I’ll bite Sal. Translation please!
I wasn’t aware of that. Tesla really was a piece of work!
I assume you know of his post-mortem Trump connections.

“So, again, what is recovering the Marconi set going to show? “
Don’t ask me! I am the one that posted the statements from R.M.S. Titanic, Inc. Where they wanted to retrieve it for historical valued exhibitions.
Was it the only one of its kind Marconi set?
Otherwise I don’t see the need.
Which gets back to the fact that this is planned operation is purely a money-making thing, and any pretense that it’s going to answer unsolved mysteries is BS.
“Which gets back to the fact that this is planned operation is purely a money-making thing, and any pretense that it’s going to answer unsolved mysteries is BS.”
They were upfront on that but threw in a couple of ‘extras’.
It’s called capitalism.
I know that YOU understand that the only difference between a champ and chump is a ‘silly little dit’....
I watched what they called the ‘boring’ tape and I do believe that I would be back at ‘fighting’ speed in a short.
Back in my ‘prime’ I used to copy Press (AP etal).
Did a lot of copying AND some ‘editing’....
(no one else knew what the dits and dahs were ‘saying’)..<: <: <:
So this a salvage operation to get Titanic collectables to sell?
“I assume you know of his post-mortem Trump connections.”
I will ask him about that the next time I see him!
